Now, a new study shows that, in fact, Apple is the company that collects less data compared to other companies.<\/p>\n<p>according to <em>StockApps<\/em> analysis, out of the five major digital firms, which include Google, Twitter, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook, Google harvests the most data on its users.<\/p>\n<p>While Google collects 39 data points for each user, Apple only collects 12. What&#8217;s impressive here is that StockApp analysis shows that Facebook collects only two points more than Apple.  The explanation given is:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Twitter and Facebook both save more information than they need to.  However, with Facebook, most of the data they store is information users enter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>According to the study, Apple only stores the information that is necessary to maintain users&#8217; accounts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Apple is in a league above Amazon in protecting user privacy.  It is the most privacy-conscious firm out there.  Apple only stores the information that is necessary to maintain users&#8217; accounts.  This is because their website is not as reliable on advertising revenue as are Google, Twitter, and Facebook.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>StockApp says \u201ceach of these data focuses on a particular category of firms data and not the quantity of data.  Google collects more different types of information for individual users.  The firm relies on this data for targeted advertising rather than relying on third-party trackers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study recommends using applications that can help protect your data such as the browser DuckDuckGo instead of Google Chrome.  One of the biggest concerns, according to StockApp, is that Google \u201ckeeps users&#8217; specific locations\u201d saying it&#8217;s a \u201cgreat concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Due to its importance in tying consumers&#8217; online and offline profiles, location data is a hotly debated topic in data privacy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>How do you feel about this study?
