Apple Customers in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand Can Download a Copy of Their Data Starting Today

Apple today is extending its full-featured Data and Privacy portal (https://privacy.apple.com) to the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Apple customers in those four countries will now have the option to download a copy of any data associated with their Apple ID account that Apple maintains, such as calendars, reminders, photos, and documents stored in iCloud (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/icloud/), purchase histories, Game Center activity, and AppleCare (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/applecare/) support history.





The portal has been available to customers in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/05/23/apple-launches-new-data-privacy-website/) since May to comply with Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (https://eugdpr.org/the-regulation/), or GDPR. Apple said the service would be made available worldwide in the coming months, starting with today's expansion.





In the meantime, Apple customers who live in a country or region that's not listed above can still contact Apple (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/contact/) to request a copy of their data.





Apple promises to fulfill all portal-based data requests within seven days, and emails customers to let them know it is preparing their data. Read our how-to (https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/get-a-copy-of-your-apple-account-data/) for step-by-step instructions on requesting a copy of your data.





<strong>Update:</strong> The data-download option doesn't appear to be available immediately and may take some time to roll out to all users today.
