Privacy
Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location
Services, and to your contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Reminders, Maps, and Camera gather and
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available
information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). The location data collected
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identies you. When an app is using Location
Services, appears in the menu bar.
Turn Location Services on or o: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it o
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn o Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it
on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
Turn Location Services o for system services: Several system services, such as location-
based iAds, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or o, or show in the
menu bar when these services use your location, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services >
System Services.
Turn o access to private information: Go to Settings > Privacy. You can see which apps have
requested and been granted access to the following information:
•
Contacts
•
Calendar
•
Reminders
•
Photos
•
Bluetooth Sharing
•
Twitter

Facebook
You can turn o each app’s access to each category of information. Review the terms and privacy
policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the data it’s requesting.
