If you haven't downloaded your data from Apple recently I suggest doing that. The amount of personal info they collect has exploded over the last couple years.

Their Services business is moving them into Google levels of data collection.

For anyone who wants to do this, you can do it here (at least if you are in the EU): http://privacy.apple.com/

Having downloaded my data from both Apple and Google, "Google levels of data collection" seems inaccurate.
