Safari throws trackers off yourtrail.

Safari

Some websites allow hundreds of different data collection companies to watch you, build a profile of you and serve you ads as you browse the web. Intelligent Tracking Prevention in Safari uses on-device machine learning to help block those trackers. And you can get a snapshot of all the cross-site trackers Safari is blocking by visiting your Privacy Report. Advanced Fingerprinting Protection obscures browser and device data that can be used to create a digital fingerprint ofusers.

When you use Private Browsing, the details of your browsing arent saved, and the websites you visit arent shared with your other Apple devices. And starting with iOS17, iPadOS17 and macOSSonoma, Private Browsing now locks your private browsing windows when youre not using them, completely blocks known trackers from loading on pages, and removes tracking added to URLs as you browse.

Health keeps your records under wraps.

Health

From your heart rate to your menstrual cycle, apps and devices for your health can give you insight into some of your most personal details. With the Health app, youre in charge of what information youd like to include, what not to, and who has access toit.

When you do want to securely share your health data from the Health app with your doctors, theyll see the data you shared in a dashboard in the providers health records system.

All of your data is encrypted and only accessible with your passcode, TouchID or FaceID. So however you use the Health app, youre always in control of your data.
Wallet and ApplePay help hide what youbuy.

Wallet and ApplePay

When you make a purchase, ApplePay uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code. So your card number is never stored on your device or on Apple servers. And when you pay, your card numbers are never shared by Apple with merchants.

When you pay with a debit or credit card, ApplePay doesnt keep transaction information that can be tied back to you. And when you use ApplePay, information is stored only for troubleshooting, fraud prevention and regulatory purposes.
Maps knows your route, not your profile.

Maps

Where you go says a lot about you. Maps delivers a great experience without Apple knowing which shops, neighbourhoods or clinics you visit. And because Maps doesnt include a sign-in, where you go isnt associated with your AppleAccount atall.

Many personalised features, like Visited Places or locating your parked car, are created directly on your device. Data used to improve navigation, such as routes and search terms, is not associated with your identity. Instead, that information is based on random identifiers that are constantlychanging.
Photos lets you choose who has the full picture.

Photos

Your photo and video albums are full of precious moments, friends and your favourite things. Apple devices are designed to give you control over those memories.

Photos is also designed so that the face recognition and scene and object detection which power features like For You, Memories, Sharing Suggestions and the People album happen on device instead of in the cloud. In fact, the A13Bionic and later chips perform over 100 billion operations per photo to recognise faces and places without ever leaving your device. And when apps request access to your photos, you can share just the images you want not your entire library.
Messages are only seen by who you send them to.

Messages

From inside jokes to invitations, a lot of life happens in text and video chats. Every blue-bubble message, picture, Animoji and video is encrypted while being sent between devices.

Smart suggestions in Messages, like pulling up photos to send based on who youre messaging, are all done on your device.
Siri learns what you need. Not who you are.

Siri

Siri was designed from the beginning to learn your preferences without sharing your identity with Apple or anyone else. You dont sign in with your AppleAccount to use Siri, and the audio of your requests is processed entirely on your device thanks to the power of the Apple NeuralEngine.

When Apple does process or store data on our servers, its associated with a random identifier a long string of letters and numbers. That data is used only to improve Siri, and we never share or sell it. Apple doesnt retain audio of your requests unless you choose to share it with us to improve Siri.
AppleNews leaves what you read off the record.

AppleNews

Many news sources keep track of your identity and create a profile of you. AppleNews delivers personalised content without knowing who you are. The content you read is associated with a random identifier, not your AppleAccount.

You get editor-curated content and a personalised newsfeed so you can stay up to date with the latest news and stories. And because AppleNews uses machine learning, the more you use it, the better your app gets to know what you like without Apple ever knowing what youre into.
AppStore shows you whats in store for your data.

AppStore

Every one of the more than 1.8 million apps on the AppStore is required to follow strict privacy guidelines and report how it uses your data. And every app is rigorously reviewed by a team of experts at Apple.

When youre checking out an app, youll see its Privacy Nutrition Label to help you decide if it works for you. Apps you choose to download need your permission to access information like your photos or location and you can always change your mind about what you share. iOS14.5 and iPadOS14.5 or later require developers to get your permission before tracking your activity across other companies apps and websites for ads or data brokers.

Private Browsing.

Powerfully private.

Private Browsing

When you turn on Private Browsing, Safari wont save the sites you visit, your searches, or any information from forms you fill in. Advanced tracking and fingerprinting protections help prevent websites from tracking or identifying your device. And your private browsing windows automatically lock when youre not using them.
Locked and HiddenApps.

Choose
whats visible.

Locked and Hidden Apps

Locked apps allow you to show your screen to someone while protecting sensitive areas of your phone. For additional privacy, you can hide a locked app. This removes the hidden apps name and icon from the HomeScreen and search results, and pauses its notifications. You can access locked or hidden apps with FaceID, TouchID or a passcode.
Passkeys.

Simple.
Secure.
So not a
password.

Passkeys

A passkey eliminates the need for a password by using a unique digital key that only works from the site or app it was created for, so you dont have to worry about website leaks or phishing. Passkeys are securely synced across Apple devices. Just use TouchID or FaceID to authenticate and youre done.
Lock Hidden Albums.

Keep Hidden
and Recently
Deleted
photos
private.

Lock Hidden Albums

Your Hidden and Recently Deleted albums in Photos are locked by default and can be unlocked using your devices authentication method FaceID, TouchID or your passcode.
Safety Check.

Take control
intimes of
crisis.

Safety Check

Safety Check is a section in Settings that helps people in domestic or intimate partner violence situations quickly reset the access theyve granted to others. It also helps you manage which people and apps youve given accessto.

App Tracking Transparency.

Decide which
apps are
allowed to
track you.

App Tracking Transparency

Make more informed choices about the apps you use and the permissions you grant them. Apps are required to ask your permission when they want to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies. And you can change your preference for any app or prevent apps from asking for permission entirely inSettings.
Mail Privacy Protection.

Read, delete
and reply
with peace
of mind.

Mail Privacy Protection

Mail Privacy Protection hides your IP address, so senders cant link it to your other online activity or determine your location. And it prevents senders from seeing if and when youve opened their email.
