Apple privacy officer says 'building back doors' to access iPhone data won't help solve crimes
and the Federal Trade Commission, and was asked about the company's use of encryption.
Horvath reiterated Apple's view that to protect customer data, if a phone is stolen or gets left in a cab, and ensure consumer trust, the company has designed its devices so that it can't access highly personal information. Apple says that, for locked phones, in order to retrieve data that hasn't been uploaded to the company's servers, it would have to build special software.
Horvath said that Apple has a team working around the clock to respond to requests from law enforcement. But she said she doesn't support building so-called back doors into software that would allow law enforcement elevated access to private data to solve crimes like terrorism. An Apple spokesperson told CNBC on Tuesday, in response to an inquiry about the recent Alshamrani case, that the company is working with authorities.
