    Apple cannot sell your AirTag data, because they don’t know it. It’s all encrypted.

      Sure, it’s encrypted, but there might be a way for them to decrypt it.

        It lives in the same place as your other inaccessible data, which Apple has been unable to produce when served with warrants for iCloud data and the like.

      They say the same thing about some of the other data that they encrypt, but then they store the encryption private keys on their servers.

      Encryption doesn’t mean they can’t see the data. It means only the people with the private keys (and those who can crack the private keys or a device with the private keys) can see the data.

      One must know if the data is encrypted both at rest and in transit. What type of encryption is used. Where the private key is stored. And what are the protections in-place where the key is stored
