Massive Breach Of Privacy

Jul 8, 2010

In Stanza (a popular ebook reader) i did a search for Stieg Larrson's latest novel.

I did not get what I wanted. So I quit Stanza, and launched the Kindle app and tapped "Shop in Kindle Store" which switched me into Amazon's kindle web search page in Safari.

But, to my ASTONISHEMENT, the page loaded were the results of a Stieg Larrson search in the Kindle store!!!

How on earth does the Kindle app access the search results (or even any other type of data) of the Stanza app???

Worse, why on earth is www.amazon.com given access to what I am searching for at its competitors' stores???

What other (personal and non personal) information in my ipad is susceptible to to be swapped, pushed, flowed, moved, collected between apps, the operating system and the web WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE???

No doubt there is some obscure terms & agreements page that I have probably agreed to by clicking on something that allows most app developers to do as they wish with my personal data.

But what I am referring to is far more sinister, namely that companies are very free to use my personal data without my necessarily even being aware of it.

I call that a breach of trust and privacy.

So my question to Apple Support is: what personal information of mine is being shared at the OS level between apps and the web?

Information:
ipad
iPhone OS 3.1.3

I have only had my I pad since Monday and I absolutely love it. I use it like a mini laptop. I do a lot of online shopping paying bills etc and was wondering if there is a firewall program already installed. If not is there something I can download for security.

I am not technical at all so if someone could give me an easy explanation I would really appreciate it.

Looking At The From A Security Standpoint ?

Mar 4, 2010

I'm not super knowledgeable about such things, but would the Safari browser on the iPad be considered among the most secure environments for surfing the web around? I know I've heard things like that said about the iPhone browser before, and I'd assume it's the same for the iPad, but what makes them so secure?I really do like that aspect of these devices. The fact that they are such closed environments, I know there is so much less risk and worry about various internet viruses and spyware.

App For Email Security?

May 2, 2010

Sorry if this has been posted but I could not find it.

Issue: several people in the household want to use the iPad. I need to keep my email secure for work reasons and so kids do not accidentally delete something. Is there a way to password protect the Mail program so that I am the only one with access? I cannot find this option in the settings and if I try to go to me.com via the web, it prompts me to set up an account on the iPad. If this cannot be accomplished in the settings, does anyone know of an app that can do this?

Information:
iBook G4 and iPad
Mac OS X (10.6.3)
