I’m going to sound like an Apple fanboy here, but that’s why use their products and platforms. There are a lot of smart security things on by default! I also enable all the security things I can - hide my email, do not track, private relay, etc. I trust Apple doesn’t track this and sell it to others as it’s not in their business model. I also appreciate the work they have put into third party apps and declarations on what is being tracked. Not perfect. Nothing is, but I sleep in relative peace.
