Apple Gives U.S. Customers GDPR-Style Right to Download Their Data
GDPR was supposed to be the asteroid that destroyed third party data. That clearly hasn’t happened, but that doesn’t mean GDPR landed with no impact. The latest ripple is Apple giving U.S., Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand customers the same rights to download their data that GDPR gives European residents. Apple makes a particular point of being privacy-friendly, but expect other firms to apply GDPR world-wide simply because it’s easier than keeping different systems.
