| > | ual or that is linked or linkable to them by Apple as “personal data,” no matter | ||||
| > | where the individual lives.** This means that data that directly identifies you | ||||
| > | — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly id | ||||
| > | entify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — such as the serial | ||||
| > | number of your device — is personal data. Aggregated data is considered non‑per | ||||
