Data is stored on the phone or in person IPAD, but when the device is synchronized with your computer, the file is copied to the hard drive, says the developer.
The data is not encrypted, but users can encrypt data to synchronize your device, but a few. Some privacy advocates, data storage is clearly upset. , The mysterious collection of location data through the line, said Marc Rotenberg, director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, privacy think tank in Washington.

This is the future. . We need to understand how law enforcement is able to provide location information of mobile phone company to manage the show, O'Reilly said, but they are not in conflict with the decisions of federal courts if they need a warrant.
But sitting at home computer, data can be vulnerable to hackers or others to access, he said. And the information at different times in the future can be seen as an outsider or by phone is lost or IPAD, if attacked by malware.

Allan said in a blog, the question regarding the storage of information, such as Apple wants to use -. O no, Mr Allan, a book to teach people how to program written, also said that the new product will be charged when customers buy new phones or IPAD, and then synchronize the flow.
See Lord Warden, a former Apple employee, on his website to download a free program for Mac that allows you to embed location information. What is the impact on privacy rash bad publicity for Apple has confirmed the results on profits celebrities.
No matter what Apple says that its production is right that consumers want their phones very big problem, said Chenxi Wang, vice president of Forrester Research, a company specializing in security and risk management.
