Safari Privacy Overview | November 2019 2ContentsIntroduction
Safari is the built-in browser on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple
Watch. Fast and energy efficient, Safari delivers innovative
features while also protecting user privacy. Safari is built to
ensure websites keep working as expected while blocking unwanted cross-site tracking. Safari also minimizes the amount
of data passed to third parties like search engines, and it
provides many other features to help protect privacy like Private
Browsing and secure password management. Safari protects
privacy without requiring users to change the default settings.
Privacy by design
Safari has been designed from the ground up to protect user privacy.
Key privacy features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) and fingerprinting
defense are turned on by default, so there is no need to make changes in
Settings or Safari preferences to benefit from these privacy protections.
Safari minimizes the amount of data collected by Apple and shared with third
parties. Where possible, Safari’s privacy protections are designed to process
data on device. For example, ITP uses machine learning to classify tracking data
locally so that browsing history isn’t sent to Apple. Safari also limits the amount
of information passed to search engines when a user searches using the Smart
Search field. And Safari is designed to provide users with transparency and control around data that is shared. For example, if a user visits a website that
wants to access location using Location Services on the device, or use the
camera or microphone, Safari will ask permission from the user before granting
access. Users can also customize these settings for each website to allow, not
allow, or ask each time the site is visited. Safari is designed to hide the user’s
identity when sharing information with Apple. Analytics data shared with Apple
is not attached to identifying information and, in some cases, is protected using
differential privacy, a technique that obscures individual information while
allowing Apple to analyze broader trends in web-browsing behavior. And Safari implements security best practices to protect user data.
Protection from cross-site tracking
In the years since the web was created, technology has been developed to track user behavior across websites for advertising purposes. Users experience
this tracking in action when they look at a product online and then ads for that
product seem to follow them around the web. Tracking is pervasive; some
websites include 100 or more trackers from different com
