&gt; What personal information we collect<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; When you create an Apple ID, register your products, apply for commercial<br>
&gt; credit, purchase a product, download a software update, register for a class<br>
&gt; at an Apple Retail Store, or participate in an online survey, we may collect<br>
&gt; a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone<br>
&gt; number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; When you share your content with family and friends using Apple products,<br>
&gt; send gift certificates and products, or invite others to join you on Apple<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; How we use your personal information<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Apple’s<br>
&gt; latest product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. It also<br>
&gt; helps us to improve our services, content, and advertising.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
