Bloomberg: Apple sued over data given by iPad, iPhone

Apple Inc. has reportedly been sued over software that transmits some information from iPads and iPhones to advertisers without users’ permission.

Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the lawsuit was filed on Dec. 23 in federal court San Jose, Calif.

The suit claims that the devices are telling advertisers what software is being downloaded and how much it is being used as well as a users’ location, age, gender, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation and political views.

The suit against Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) by Jonathan Lalo of Los Angeles County also names the developers of applications including Pandora, Paper Toss, The Weather Channel and Dictionary.com as defendants.

Lalo’s lawyers are Scott A. Kamber and Avi Kreitenberg of KamberLaw LLC in New York.

The case is Lalo v. Apple, 10-5878, in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California in San Jose.

Apple operates a full-service retail store in the ABQ Uptown retail center in Albuquerque at Louisiana and Indian School Road NE.
