International Data Transfers

What it is

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Why it matters

International data transfers, particularly from the EU/EEA to the US, have been subject to intense legal scrutiny and regulatory enforcement, and consumers may have limited visibility into which countries receive their data and what protections apply.

Consumer impact

Apple collects a broad range of personal data including location, health and fitness information, financial data, voice recordings, and browsing and search history across its entire ecosystem of devices and services, and shares this information with Apple subsidiaries worldwide, app developers, business partners, and advertisers. While Apple publicly commits to not selling personal data, the policy permits extensive intra-group sharing and third-party disclosures that may not be fully transparent to average consumers. You can review, download, correct, or delete your personal data by visiting privacy.apple.com and signing in with your Apple ID.

Applicable agencies
