  Apple has been subjected into a class suit buy certain customers who made purchases on iTunes alleging the company sold their private information to third parties.

  iTunes users were named Jill Paul, Leigh Wheaton and Trevor Paul from Rhode Island and Michigan. They are claiming that Apple is not true with their ad campaign saying “pro-consumer positions on issues of data privacy” and even to their billboard in Las Vegas with its popular slogan “What happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone.”

  “None of the information pertaining to the music you purchase on your iPhone stays on your iPhone,” stated in a 51-page lawsuit.

  Furthermore, “The data Apple discloses includes the full names and home addresses of its customers, together with the genres and, in some cases, the specific titles of digitally-recorded music that its customers have purchased via the iTunes Store and then stored in their devices,” the lawsuit added.

  Apple has not yet answered all the allegations against them.
