Leading iPhone maker Apple has just released its transparency report for the initial half of 2022. This includes a long list of data including some detailed requests from governments and leading agencies across the globe.
The report is also being hailed as the first time by which the tech giant has opted to be transparent with its growing number of requests arising from the American government, including specific coordinates.
For a while now, we’ve seen the Cupertino firm get questioned often about the geofencing warrants they attain from various law enforcement agencies working in America and how they end up dealing with the matter. After all, the figure is huge.
And that’s why the company has now opted to make it a routine practice to highlight which requests it gets, how many, and from where. Therefore, going public with the total figure from the American government is something that it once kept super private but that’s no longer the case now.
The company is super committed to ensuring privacy and it’s been like that from the start. Moreover, it’s also called such a practice to be a basic human right and that is what powers its policy.
Moreover, the firm also refrains from data collection of this kind and that makes it hard to provide it to such agencies working in the country, despite it being a legal requirement.
Such approaches separate Apple from so many other tech firms that go about collecting data from users and hence can comply with the long list of warrants allocated toward its direction.
The iPhone maker says it works in a centralized and standardized manner for getting, processing, and even tracking down all kinds of requests coming from the government and similar agencies. This includes private clients around the world, documenting the whole process from start to finish.
You can find the entire report on Apple’s website which covers January 1 to June 30 of last year.
In that, you’ll see the company confirming how serious it is when it comes to data protection and they’re working so hard to put out the safest software and hardware features so its users can benefit.
In the end, you’ll see the tech giant also confirming how the idea behind this entire approach is that people have every right to question the company and how all data remains organized and protected at all times.
