The lawsuit claims that Apple has violated the privacy of its users in the quest for profit.

Apple is being sued by customers who allege the tech giant is unlawfully selling iTunes purchase information to third parties without the consent of its users.
The court case, filed in San Francisco, claims that the iPad and iPhone maker is not only flogging purchase data but also personal customer information connected to music sales.

At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right.

And so much of your personal information — information you have a right to keep private — lives on your Apple devices.

Your heart rate after a run. Which news stories you read first. Where you bought your last coffee. What websites you visit. Who you call, email, or message.

Every Apple product is designed from the ground up to protect that information. And to empower you to choose what you share and with whom.

We’ve proved time and again that great experiences don’t have to come at the expense of your privacy and security. Instead, they can support them.

Apple, unlike other companies, protect user privacy the most.

Apple has $250 billion in cash, a very delicious target. This is normal, many lawsuits.

All corporations have numerous lawsuits, majority frivolous.
