Apple is being accused of overstating and misrepresenting Safari\u2019s privacy features, leading users to believe their browsing data was more protected than it actually was.<\/p>\n

A new proposed class action alleges<\/a> Safari allows third parties to track users through \u201cfingerprinting\u201d despite Apple\u2019s claims that the browser prevents such tracking.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint,<\/p>\n

\u201cSafari transmits pieces of information about users\u2019 web browsers and devices to every website they visit as they browse the internet. This information is then related through what is called \u2018fingerprinting\u2019\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Safari\u2019s default settings provide no defenses against canvas fingerprinting, which allows third parties to gather information about how invisible or subtle content on the canvas element of a browser is drawn, revealing characteristics specific to a user\u2019s hardware and software.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Plaintiffs allege that tracking scripts continue to load and execute even in Private Browsing mode, while the Privacy Report misleadingly shows these trackers as blocked.<\/p>\n

Apple has not yet issued a public response to the claims.<\/p>\n
