      Apple lists the following:

      “Such as racial or ethnic data, sexual orientation, pregnancy or childbirth information, disability, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, political opinion, genetic information, or biometric data”

      Biometric data is a bit scary.

        They probably know if you have a Costco card or not and that you ate the whole box of muffins even though you said you were only having one

          If you have a smart light bulb or thermostat you control through your phone, they probably know when you went to bed last night, and approximately what your electric bill was last month–unless you get electric bills by email, in which case they might know exactly what your electric bill was last month.

        Rotation data? System volume? Why? What use could they have from knowing rotation data? What’s the endgame to these seemingly irrelevant data points? This stuff is so scary, at some point they’ll know what you’re thinking before you’ve thought it in the first place.
