Unless it isn't.

From Apple's site: "By enabling Location Services for your devices, you agree and consent to the transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of your location data and location search queries by Apple and its partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based and road traffic-based products and services."

You might want to look up the meaning of the words partners and licensees.

"Location-Based Suggestions: The location of your iPhone will be sent to Apple to provide more relevant recommendations. If you turn off Location Services for location-based suggestions, your precise location will not be sent to Apple."

So...not sending your precise location. But sending something not precise. To Apple.

Xoogler.

Yes, Google goes to immense lengths to protect user data in all its forms. That is security.

Privacy is orthogonal, and Google is well aware of the difference and how they complement each other.

You are completely wrong about Google's treatment of privacy.

There are plenty of companies that say they take privacy seriously. There are a handful that actually do. But smaller still is the number of those that have actually built what it takes to deliver on those promises, or re-engineered massive systems to deliver on privacy and transparency promises.

I suggest you look at any of Google's public privacy statements. There's no need to read between the lines.
