Apple Statement on Carrier IQ
From Daring Fireball:
Apple:
We stopped supporting CarrierIQ with iOS 5 in most of our products and will remove it completely in a future software update. With any diagnostic data sent to Apple, customers must actively opt-in to share this information, and if they do, the data is sent in an anonymous and encrypted form and does not include any personal information. We never recorded keystrokes, messages or any other personal information for diagnostic data and have no plans to ever do so.
I.e., they’ve done nothing contrary to their diagnostics privacy policy. “Most of our products” is weaselly, though.
My name is Matt and I am a Product Manager specializing in Mobile at Thomson Reuters. I like my Family. I like Apple. I like Photography. I like Mobile Toys. I like Food. I like Golf. I'm big into all technology with major interests in mobile which fascinates the begeebees out of me. I like a lot of stuff so I thought I'd share along with the occasional light-bulb of insight too. All views expressed are mine alone.
