We name the data category, purpose, recipient, retention claim, and user control when that information is available. We also distinguish a policy promise from behavior demonstrated by technical research or enforcement action.

When MobileBurn reviews this topic page

This topic page is updated as products ship, platform behavior changes, and stronger evidence becomes available. MobileBurn distinguishes company claims, outside reporting, clearly labeled direct observation, and editorial inference so an early announcement does not become a permanent fact by repetition.
