Apple collects detailed behavioral data — including every song you play, movie you watch, app you download, and search you conduct — which is used to build a profile of your interests and may be shared with partners under certain circumstances.
Apple's Media Services Terms significantly affect consumers by making nearly all digital purchases — apps, movies, music, books, and in-app content — non-refundable, while simultaneously allowing Apple to remove or restrict access to that content at its discretion. Subscribers to Apple One, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and Apple Fitness+ face automatic renewal charges unless they cancel before the renewal date, and Apple may change subscription pricing with limited notice. You can manage and cancel all Apple subscriptions by going to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad, or by visiting appleid.apple.com.
