        @latteine @aral You decide in ToS of apps what data you share, and what can be done with it.

        @aral "Sell" or "reveal"? The former could be much harder to detect. @TomRaftery

        .@bernardtyers @aral Apple are v unlikely to sell your personal info - if they did that they'd lose all cred. And it's not their biz model.

        @TomRaftery @aral ah, I didn't realise there was a difference between them. I assume Apple's health data looks a bit more glossy then.
