Apple News Newsletters & Privacy
Apple News newsletters are designed to protect your information while also giving you the option to receive personalised newsletters.
- You can opt in to receive Apple News newsletters with the best stories picked by our editors by providing us with your email address.
- In some countries, you can also choose to receive a personalised version of Apple News newsletters with stories that match your interests.
- Your News reading history for personalised newsletters is kept on your device. As the aggregated information that is sent to Apple does not reflect which stories you have read, Apple does not know your reading history.
Apple News newsletters are available in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. In some countries, personalised newsletters are also available.
Apple News Newsletters
You may provide Apple with your email address so we can email you a newsletter with the best stories picked by Apple News editors and send you other important updates about Apple News. You can opt in or out of receiving emails from Apple News in the News app. On an iOS or iPadOS device, scroll to the bottom of your Following list, and below Manage, select Notifications & Email. On a Mac, select File > Manage Notifications & Email. You can also opt in or out from wherever you manage your Apple ID settings. You can manage your Apple ID settings in Settings on an iOS or iPadOS device, in System Preferences on a Mac, and at appleid.apple.com.
Apple News Personalised Newsletters
In some countries, you may choose to receive a personalised version of the Apple News newsletter. The personalised newsletter includes the best stories picked by Apple News editors, as well as stories picked by the editors that match your interests.
If you choose to receive the personalised newsletter, on-device artificial intelligence will analyse your reading to group you with thousands of other users with similar interests, and information about those interests will be sent to Apple to personalise your newsletter.
Your Apple News reading history is kept on your device. As the aggregated information that is sent to Apple does not reflect which stories you have read, Apple does not know your reading history. If you subscribe to Apple News+, you’ll also receive new issues of the magazines you follow in your email newsletter. The list of Apple News+ channels you follow will be sent to Apple and linked to your Apple ID.
If you do not want to receive the personalised newsletter, you can opt out in the News app. On an iOS or iPadOS device, scroll to the bottom of your Following list, and below Manage, select Notifications & Email. On a Mac, select File > Manage Notifications & Email. You can also opt out from wherever you manage your Apple ID settings. You can manage your Apple ID settings in Settings on an iOS or iPadOS device, in System Preferences on a Mac, and at appleid.apple.com.
If you would like to receive the personalised newsletter in countries where it is available, you will need to opt in from the News app. Otherwise, if you opt in from Settings, System Preferences or appleid.apple.com, you will receive the non-personalised newsletter.
At all times, information collected by Apple will be treated in accordance with Apple’s Privacy Policy, which can be found at www.apple.com/uk/privacy
