I hope you are not using an iOS device then... Given Apple's success, few people seem to mind.

Apple doesn't make money by mining my personal data - that's the difference.

[Tichy]

I am sure they are mining your data, too. They sell stuff.

[dumbphone]

Their business model isn't dependant on it. This makes it not worth the risk to sell personal data (the risk being bad publicity).

Where does Google sell personal data?

[dumbphone]

I didn't say they sell our data (although I honestly can't say for sure, since there are a number of things Google employees aren't allowed to talk about). I'm talking about the fact that Google builds huge databases about its users, and the fact that Google is in the US where the authorities have easy access to said databases.

Apple has just built a big new data center. Just saying...
