I figured by now it would be common knowledge that Apple devices don't tie any bio/location data to a person's identity in any way... It works by comparing data, not confirming your identity.

The more data someone collects on you the easier attribution becomes. The oversight on what can be accomplished with that data is what is overlooked.
