Sure, but it isn't in their interest to share that information, whereas with other companies that is their main business, to use your personal information to make money from you with advertisement. If you care about this sort of thing I'm not sure you have a better option than Apple except maybe to use linux and I don't know what you would do for a smartphone, maybe a Mozilla phone.

Huh? Who are you comparing Apple against? It sounds like Google/Facebook/Twitter but they are advertising honey-pots rather than product companies.
The more accurate competitor category includes Microsoft, Samsung, Dell, Sony, HTC etc. Like Apple, their first business is to sell product... but they will sell adverts too if they can.
