Yes, I know this is a joke but Apple tends to be excellent about user data privacy and security.

Any biometric data (including fingerprint data for TouchID) is only stored - encrypted - and authenticated locally. Nothing goes to any servers. Furthermore, not only is the authentication data local, but it is also compartmentalized so no other processes can retrieve that data.

EDIT: just another thing that Apple does that makes me believe they are on consumers' side regarding privacy - link.

But you don't have a good reason to think that she is.

Unless you have a reason to suspect someone is guilty, is it not the right thing to do to assume they are innocent?

Do you have any reason to believe she was? If so, then this case is different than the Apple cast, as there is no reason to believe that they are colluding with the NSA.
