THREE-QUARTERS OF DATA requests made by Irish authorities to Apple resulted in some data being disclosed.

Details from Apple’s transparency report shows that Irish authorities made 252 requests between July and December 2015, and involved 671 devices. Of those requests, 75%, or 190 of requests, resulted in some data being provided to the relevant authorities.

The information provided would have included data like registration, subscriber, service, repair, and purchase information. Apple says the majority of requests made by law authorities tend to relate to lost or stolen devices.

This was higher than the general average of accounts requests honoured. In Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, 52% of requests were honoured in total. In the US, 80% of requests were accepted.

The number of requests for accounts was far smaller with eight requests for accounts made overall, with five of them resulting in non-content data (like subscriber or transactional information but not the specific content) being disclosed.

There were two cases where Apple objected to while none of the requests saw any content being disclosed.

Only one emergency request for account information was made during this period, completed when the situation involves imminent danger or death.

Apple says it informed those who are involved that a request concerning their personal data was made “unless we are explicitly prohibited from doing so”.

“If there’s a question about the legitimacy or scope of the request we challenge it, as we have done as recently as this year. We only comply with information requests once we are satisfied that the request is valid and appropriate, and then we deliver the narrowest possible set of information,” it says.
