International briefs: Germany
A GERMAN privacy watchdog is demanding answers from Apple over whether its iPhones and iPads are secretly collecting data on users' locations.
Thomas Kranig, head of the data protection authority for the state of Bavaria, where Apple has its German headquarters, said the company has until 10 May to respond.
Apple has come under pressure since researchers raised questions about how tracking data gathered by iPhones and iPads is handled. Germany has some of the world's strictest privacy laws and has tangled with Google and Facebook over personal data and how it is used.
