iPhone update adds privacy 'transparency'Apple has updated its iOS, MacOS and tvOS operating systems to give people more information about how their personal data is collected and used. The change comes ahead of new EU data protection rules, which take effect on 23 May. The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) toughens the requirements on how organisations handle the public's data, and imposes harsher penalties for breaches. This is happening because companies are checking what they are doing before new data protection rules kick in," said Jim Killock. That's a victory for privacy and it shows that we can win improvements if governments listen to people's well-founded concerns about privacy."
