Apple Set To Break Record For Mac Rating: 4,3/5 6512 reviews

What we’re commonly asked for and how we respond. Apple receives various forms of legal process requesting information from or actions by Apple.

Apple requires government and private entities to follow applicable laws and statutes when requesting customer information and data. We contractually require our service providers to follow the same standard we apply to government information requests for Apple data. Our legal team reviews requests to ensure that the requests have a valid legal basis. If they do, we comply by providing the narrowest possible set of data responsive to the request. If a request does not have a valid legal basis, or if we consider it to be unclear, inappropriate, or overly broad, we challenge or reject the request. Download resolume arena 5. We report on the requests every six months. We’ll continue working for greater transparency and data security protections on behalf of our customers.

Apple has never created a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services. We have also never allowed any government direct access to Apple servers. And we never will.

Account Requests Account Requests most commonly involve information related to a customer’s Apple account. We apply the highest U.S. Legal standard, and we require a search warrant for all U.S. Requests for content.

All international requests for content stored in our data centers in the U.S. Must comply with the U.S. Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA). Only a small fraction of requests from law enforcement seek content such as email, photos, and other content stored on users’ iCloud accounts. Apple will give prior notice to users whose data is sought by a law enforcement agency or other governmental entity, except where prohibited by law.

We may also withhold notice in exceptional circumstances, such as emergencies, when notice could result in danger (for example, child exploitation investigations), or when notice would be counterproductive (for example, when the user’s account has been hacked). We will also provide delayed notice to users upon expiration of a valid and applicable nondisclosure order unless Apple, in its sole discretion, believes that providing notice could result in danger to identifiable individuals or groups or could be counterproductive. Account Restriction/Deletion Requests Account Restriction/Deletion Requests from law enforcement ask Apple to restrict or delete a customer’s account. These requests usually relate to circumstances in which an account has been used unlawfully or in violation of Apple’s Terms and Conditions.

Apple requires a court order or a letter from law enforcement certifying that a customer has been convicted based on evidence located in the customer’s account. The applicable account restriction/deletion order or request must demonstrate that the account to be restricted or deleted violates Apple’s Terms and Conditions. National Security Orders U.S. National Security Orders demand that Apple provide information in response to U.S. National Security legal authorities. They are not counted as Device Requests or Account Requests. In the second half of 2016, Apple received between 5,750 and 5,999 National Security Orders.

Apple reports National Security Orders to the extent allowed by law. Though we would like to be more specific, by law this is the most precise information we are currently allowed to disclose. In addition, if Apple receives a National Security Letter (NSL) from the U.S. Government that contains an indefinite gag order, Apple will notify the government that it would like the court to review the nondisclosure provision of the NSL pursuant to USA FREEDOM. The government then has 30 days to let the court know why the nondisclosure should remain in effect or can let Apple know that the nondisclosure no longer applies.

If Apple receives notice that the nondisclosure no longer applies, it will notify the affected customer(s) pursuant to Apple’s customer notice policies. Private Party Requests In addition to law enforcement requests, Apple receives requests from private parties in the U.S.

Law Enforcement Support Program We believe that law enforcement agencies play a critical role in keeping our society safe and we’ve always maintained that if we have information we will make it available when presented with valid legal process. In recognizing the ongoing digital evidence needs of law enforcement agencies, we have a team of dedicated professionals within our legal department who manage and respond to all legal requests received from law enforcement agencies globally. Our team also responds to emergency requests globally on a 24/7 basis. We publish legal process guidelines for government and law enforcement agencies globally and we publish transparency reports twice a year detailing the types of requests we receive and how we respond. In addition, we regularly provide training to law enforcement officers on the types of data available from Apple and how to obtain it consistent with our legal process guidelines. By the end of 2018 we will begin the launch of an online portal for authenticated law enforcement officers globally to submit lawful requests for data, track requests, and obtain responsive data from Apple.

We are building a team of professionals dedicated to training law enforcement officers globally, which will significantly increase our ability to reach smaller police forces and agencies. This will include the development of an online training module for officers. This will assist Apple in training a larger number of law enforcement agencies and officers globally, and ensure that our company’s information and guidance can be updated to reflect the rapidly changing data landscape. Apple is committed to protecting the security and privacy of our users. The above developments and the work we do to assist investigations uphold this fundamental commitment.
