Topic: Germany calls for Apple data transparency

[Simon]

The German Justice Minister has called for Apple to come clean on what data it collects from end users, according to reports.

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger told Der Spiegel that Apple must "immediately make clear" what data it collects from users of its products and for what purposes.  

"Users of iPhones and other GPS devices must be aware of what kind of information about them is being collected," she said.

I know exactly what data Nokia collects from my TPS-listed E71.  It's anonymous statistical data and they pay me £50 a year for it.  How delightful is that?

£50??

[Rodders]

Yep.  A total of £50 in BonusBond gift vouchers to exchange for tat from Argos and anywhere else that accepts them.  The vouchers are sent every couple of months by Nielsen (Nokia's punter research) and will come in very handy for bribing Santa.

nice.

Yes, not a bad little incentive.
