Apple sued over iPad and iPhone app 'data leaks'
http//www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12089225

The article doesn't say, but it would have been helpful to know what personal data is being captured by web-based companies.

This is the result of a Washington Post article earlier this month that had a table of the offending apps and what they were 'leaking'.

Most of the stuff that is sent is pretty innocuous. I am an iphone/ipad user and don't use many of the offending apps and am not too concerned about the ones I do use (seems to be a lot of leaks because of Facebook which I do not use).
