What data collection are you referring to? Apple collects crash log data if you opt-in, which can contain logs. It also collects "device analytics" using differential privacy (not containing logs); this is stronger than anonymized data because it retains some privacy even if it is de-anonymized, and is also opt-in. Is there another practice I'm not aware of?



Not OP, but back when Yosemite came out, there was a lot of buzz about privacy issues, such as:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/10/mac-o...

Don't know what came out of these things in later OS X versions.
