Is sharing iCloud analytics, diagnostics, and usage anonymous? As an example, could any government send a court order or warrant to require Apple to provide the information you collect when we share iCloud analytics and usage information with Apple?
I am a long time Apple, Windows and Linux developer. I also design and develop mobile apps and web pages.
As a developer, I am focused on security, privacy and a particular interest in keeping our data private. As a developer, I tend to share my app analytics to other developers because I know how valuable it can be to fixing bugs and improving apps. However, we do not see all the data collected, much of the customer information obfuscated. I would like to know if Apple keeps this data, and if so, why?
Also, I would like to know if all analytical data on all device systems, not just iCloud or iOS data provided to app developers, is also private under all circumstances?
