Apple Voice Memos

What this pass recorded. Nothing confirmed this pass. Voice Memos is governed by Apple's general iCloud terms rather than by any product-specific agreement, and the practical consequence is that recordings synced to iCloud are encrypted with keys Apple holds unless Advanced Data Protection is switched on - a setting that is off by default and that most users have never seen. Voice recordings are unusually revealing material: they capture other people who never consented, ambient conversation, and location cues. The default is the finding.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (AAPL). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, Cupertino, California — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
