Let's be real here; Apple is 100% monitoring and tracking what you're doing, and their security is only as tight as your own precautions.

I don’t mind that Apple monitors, cause every one is monitoring everything. However Apple is not selling my personal info like Google, Yahoo, etc. does

Dude I'm sorry I have to be the one to break this news to you, but Apple does sell your personal info. It's literally in their privacy policy and Google is one of the companies they sell too. In fact I think Google is one of if not their biggest buyer.

Can you tell me where in the TOS this is located?

Google tracks things if you are using their browser or services. Otherwise Apple is not sharing anything. Actually they have a very strict privacy policy. So I think your name information may be outdated.

Read Apple's "sharing of personal data".

I feel there is a disconnect here somewhere.

Here is the text from the top section of the sharing of personal information:

“Apple may share personal data with Apple-affiliated companies, service providers who act on our behalf, our partners, developers, and publishers, or others at your direction. Further, Apple does not share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.”

Google sells your data FOR MARKETING PURPOSES.

These two are not the same

While they can share with developers and other is very restrictive compared to the rest of the industry.

Apple has allowed app developers to collect data from its 1bn iPhone users for targeted advertising.

While that is true until a couple years ago, when you download an app from the App Store it now shows a section on how your data is handled. If the developer sells your info, how is Apple responsible???
