  I had visited an ophthalmologist who used Apple Notes to keep track of his patients. He had no idea about the privacy implications of his choices.

  However, my most nerve racking experience was talking to my therapist, while their stock Android was right next to them. Even when I mentioned my privacy concerns, they didn’t bother to rid of it.

    What’s wrong with Apple Notes?

    Your therapist can’t even have a phone in the room?

      I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.

      I would prefer my psychological issues to not be turned into marketing campaigns. If you still don’t understand what I am talking about, you should probably check the Privacy Policy of Google and Meta.

      To save you some time: Google and Meta are monitoring the conversations using the device’s microphone, to better understand what products you may be interested in. You have noticed, that ads are often related to the topics that you discuss face to face.
