iCloud
All your iCloud content — like photos, contacts, and reminders — is encrypted when it’s transferred and, in most cases, when stored on our servers. We also encrypt the information that is transferred between any email app you use and our iCloud mail servers.
- Photos
- Documents
- Calendars
- Contacts
- iCloud Keychain
- Backup
- Bookmarks
- Reminders
- Find My iPhone
- Find My Friends
- Mail (encrypted in transit)

With iCloud sharing, the identities of participants are never made available to anyone who has not been invited to and accepted a private share. The names of your shared files and the first and last name associated with your iCloud account are available to anyone who has access to the sharing link, including Apple.
If we use third-party vendors to store your information, we encrypt it and never give them the keys. Apple retains the encryption keys in our own data centers, so you can back up, sync, and share your iCloud data. iCloud Keychain stores your passwords and credit card information in such a way that Apple cannot read or access them.
With iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra, end-to-end encryption in iCloud syncs certain types of personal data across all your devices in such a way that Apple cannot read or access them.
