Differential Privacy: we will decide if we want to share data with Apple

Differential Privacy

Although Siri was the first virtual assistant operate decently on mobile devices, competition has managed to overtake him in the last few months. The reason is none other than the collection of data: companies like Google and Facebook collect data from users and their assistants and programmes are increasingly precise. For this reason, Apple had to move and has done so with Differential Privacy, a system that will gather data at the same time that will respect our personal information.

Apple has already demonstrated many times that the Privacy of their customers is very important. That is why he refused to create a precedent by unlocking the iPhone 5 c of the sniper from San Bernardino and for that reason they have also left without encrypting the kernel of iOS 10, in order to correct before system security failures and that the gray hat may not sell exploits to the forces of the law.

Using Differential Privacy will be optional

Apple will begin to use Differential Privacy in September, coinciding with the release of iOS 10. Initially, the technology will help improve QuickType and suggestions of Emoji, Spotlight suggestions and notes search suggestions. At its launch, will be limited to four use cases: new words that a user adds to its dictionary, emojis posted by users, Deep Links within the applications and search within notes suggestions. But, as expected from Apple, Differential Privacy will not be enabled by default.

On the other hand, Apple says that they will not use the pictures that users have stored in iCloud to improve their function of recognition of images of iOS 10, if not that will rely on other data to improve their algorithms. They not clarified what data will be used; they only said that they will not use our photos.

Taking into account that part of Differential Privacy is optional, you let that Apple have access certain information of yours?
