"APPLE’S WEBSITE MAKES IT EASIER TO SEE GOVERNMENT REQUESTS FOR INFO ON ITS DEVICES AND MORE" Apple’s website makes it easier to see government requests for info on its devices and more Apple has launched a website (via Tech Crunch) for its biannual transparency report. This report details the number of government requests Apple receives for customer information related to its devices. Originally available to the public only in PDF format, Apple is using its website to make this data easier to access and understand for its customers. The information shows up with each country listed in alphabetical order, and tapping on a link breaks down the data into more detail. The government requests are divided into different categories, and some requests are included in more than one of them.
The different categories include: Device-a request from the government for a serial number or IMEI number to help identify a particular device. Financial Identifier-a request from the government for credit card or gift card information. Account-a request from the government for account information such as an Apple ID or an email address. Emergency-a request from the government for information related to a matter deemed to be an emergency. During the first half of the year, the U.S. government requested information from Apple on 4,570 unique devices.

Apple was able to provide the government with 81% of the device info requested, 84% of the Financial Identifiers it was asked for and 87% of the Account data that was wanted. On those matters deemed to be emergencies, Apple responded with the information 89% of the time. The U.S. had the most request in each category for the first six months of the year, except for the emergency requests.
In the U.K., Apple received 172 such government demands for information during the six month period, 17 more than it received in the states.
