A group of customers has filed a class action lawsuit against Apple, claiming the company sold personal information from their iTunes purchases to third parties.
According to a report from Billboard, Leigh Wheaton, Jill Paul, and Trevor Paul, are charging the tech giant with undermining their own data-privacy policy, which states that only “non-personal data” is collected and that any information they obtain is not tied to any specific user.
The plaintiffs claim that “None of the information pertaining to the music you purchase on your iPhone stays on your iPhone,” adding that Apple “profits handsomely from its unauthorized sale, rental, transmission” of personal data from customers, supplementing revenue by offering up the information of millions of customers to data aggregators, list brokers, cooperatives, and developers of apps currently available in the company’s proprietary App Store.
