Lawsuit filed against Apple over apps collecting personal information

Posted on January 31, 2011July 3, 2025 by Dissent

From Courthouse News,  word of a lawsuit filed by Anthony Chiu in federal court for the Northern District of California against Apple for violations of the Stored Communications Act, invasion of privacy, and other claims.

The lawsuit seems to be based on an Wall Street Journal “What They Know” article and research by Eric Smith of Bucknell and emphasizes the combination of the unique ID (UDID) with browsing history to create a profile.  Chiu argues that Apple has violated its own privacy policy.
