At Apple. Those things are for Apple's own use. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements and turn on all of the settings to share this information with Apple. Then Apple professionals will examine the data, along with the data from 400 million other people. Maybe you'll see some improvement in behaviour in the future.


If you are thinking there is some kind of security or hacking issue, then forget that. This information is strictly for Apple tracking purposes. They don't track you personally. They are tracking how you are using the system, and combining that data, anonymously, with data from millions of other people to make improvements based on how people are using the system.

Third-party app developers (this community) can check their own logging.


As for the river of telemetry data continuously produced by Apple devices, most of which is arcane and more than a little is ominously-worded, Apple uses automated tools to monitor that.


Finding zero or an unknown number of unknown-looking needles in the infinite haystacks of telemetry data is non-trivial, too.


For potential security exploits or for those at high risk of exploits, there are entities that will perform digital forensics, though those scans require device access and are not cheap, and that can also involve having some indicators for or risks for exploitation.
