B. Under what circumstances can my iCloud information be accessed by Apple and\/or non Apple humans or systems?<\/p>\n
C. Does Apple share iOS, OS X & Cloud\/Software user data in any way? With whom and under what circumstances?<\/p>\n
D. How do Apple’s current user data and privacy practices differ from those when Steve Jobs was CEO?<\/p>\n
E. Is there a relationship between government iOS, OSX and cloud software system purchases and Apple’s user data access practices?<\/p>\n
F. Do Apple’s policies still support it’s long ago “computer for the rest of us” vision?<\/p>\n
