Collect the smallest amount of data needed for usability, anonymize it when possible, and delete it when you no longer need it. For example, Siri data is associated with a random number, not your Apple ID, and voice data is deleted after 6 months.
Encrypt as much as possible, while maintaining usability. iCloud Mail and iWork in the Cloud encrypt data, but need to see it for the cloud services to work. But Apple doesn’t need to read iMessages, so those are encrypted end to end.
No back doors. All application data on iOS is encrypted with your passcode and a secret hardware key unique to your device, embedded in the hardware, that Apple doesn’t track and can’t recover.
Protect customers from privacy abuse by developers, employers, and governments. Apps can’t access personal or location data stored on iOS or OS X without permission, and you can remove permission whenever you want. (This is inherent to app sandboxes.) If you own your iOS device, even with Mobile Device Management your employer can’t access your private data. Across the board, Apple continues to add technology, such as iOS Extensions, to enhance the platform without reducing privacy. Apple even locked developers out of access to device IDs when they were being abused for tracking and advertising.
