Chapter 3 Basics 31
Privacy
Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location
Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Camera, and Passbook gather and
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available
information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). The location data collected
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identies you. When an app is using Location
Services, appears in the menu bar.
Turn Location Services on or o. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it o
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn o Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it
on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
Turn Location Services o for system services. Several system services, such as location-based
iAds, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or o, or show in the menu
bar when these services use your location, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services >
System Services.
Turn o access to private information. Go to Settings > Privacy. You can see which apps and
features have requested and been granted access to the following information:
•
Contacts
•
Calendar
•
Reminders
•
Photos
•
Bluetooth Sharing
•
Microphone
•
Twitter
•
Facebook
You can turn o each app’s access to each category of information. Review the terms and privacy
policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the data it’s requesting.
Security
Security features help protect the information on your iPod touch from being accessed by others.
Use a passcode with data protection
Initially, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it. You can set a passcode
that must be entered each time you turn on or wake up iPod touch.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and set a 4-digit passcode.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPod touch, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may
also use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPod touch
using the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only.
