data sharing
Latest stance: third party or vendor sharing
“At Apple, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data.

We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you request deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns.”
