Apple is expanding its website on privacy with
more explanations about its commitments,
though its policies and practices aren’t changing.
The new site is part of Apple’s ongoing push to
distinguish itself from data-hungry, advertising-
fueled rivals such as Google and Facebook.
Apple’s privacy website is mostly a users’ guide
with papers on how to prevent apps and other
third-party services from unnecessarily tracking
users’ location and behaviors.
The company’s actual privacy policy
hasn’t changed.
Many of the new privacy enhancements were
announced earlier as part of Apple’s iOS 13
software update for iPhones. Changes include
the ability to sign in to third-party services with
an Apple ID account rather than Facebook’s or
Google’s, plus more notices and warnings about
apps tapping location data.
