On Monday in California, an Apple court filed a class action lawsuit against Apple, AppleInsider writes. Due to the placement of personal data of users on the servers of third parties.
Apple is accused that the company, using its status, deceived users. ICloud Apple claims that all information will be stored on servers owned by it.
In fact, the data is hosted on Microsoft, Google and Amazon. It turns out that Apple “had no infrastructure” to launch iCloud, and therefore the company does not fully control iCloud data.
According to the lawsuit, iCloud subscribers trust Apple with important personal information and pay security to save this data. ICloud will store data on servers, not on Apple. If they knew in advance what the state of things was, then it could be Amazon Drive, Google Drive or OneDrive from Microsoft.
It is worth noting that the Chinese Apple iCloud agreement is more closely aligned with company policies, at least for Chinese users. In accordance with the law, they are stored on local servers, and not on the Apple server.
Apple has long been suspected of using third-party servers. In particular, in 2011, the company collaborated with Amazon and / or Microsoft to create cloud storage. And in 2018, Apple recognizes that iCloud relies in part on Google’s computing power.
