Security and privacy Use the built-in security and privacy protections of iPad iPad is designed to protect your data and your privacy. Built-in security features help prevent anyone but you from accessing the data on your iPad and in iCloud. Built-in privacy features minimize how much of your information is available to anyone but you, and you can adjust what information is shared and where you share it. To take maximum advantage of the security and privacy features built into iPad, follow these practices:

Set a strong passcode Setting a passcode to unlock iPad is the most important thing you can do to safeguard your device. See Set a passcode on iPad. Use Face ID or Touch ID Face ID (supported models) or Touch ID (supported models) provides a secure and convenient way to unlock your iPad, authorize purchases and payments, and sign in to many third-party apps. See Set up Face ID on iPad or Set up Touch ID on iPad. Turn on Find My iPad Find My helps you find your iPad if its lost or stolen and prevents anyone else from activating or using your iPad if its missing. See Add your iPad to Find My. Keep your Apple ID secure Your Apple ID provides access to your data in iCloud and your account information for services like the App Store and Apple Music. To learn how to protect the security of your Apple ID, see Keep your Apple ID secure on iPad. Use Sign in with Apple when its available To help you set up accounts, many apps and websites offer Sign in with Apple. Sign in with Apple limits the information shared about you, it conveniently uses the Apple ID you already have, and it provides the security of two-factor authentication. See Sign in with Apple on iPad. Let iPad create a strong password if Sign in with Apple isnt available For a strong password that you dont have to remember, let iPad create it when you sign up for a service on a website or in an app. See Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPad. Use the built-in authenticator for two-factor authentication For sites and apps that offer two-factor authentication, you can get automatically generated verification codes on iPad without relying on SMS messages or additional apps to provide the codes. See Automatically fill in verification codes on iPad. Control the app data and location information you share You can review and adjust the data you share with apps, the location information you share, and how Apple delivers advertising to you in the App Store, Apple News, and Stocks. Review the privacy practices of apps Review the privacy practices of an app before you download it. Go to the apps product page in the App Store for a developer-reported summary of the apps privacy practices, including what data is collected. See Get apps in the App Store on iPad. For the apps that you download, review the App Privacy Report, which shows you how apps are using the permissions you granted them and shows you their network activity (iPadOS 15.2 or later). See Review how apps are using the permissions you grant them. Protect your Mail activity Turn on Mail Privacy Protection to make it harder for senders to follow your Mail activity. See Use Mail Privacy Protection on iPad. Hide your personal email address When you subscribe to iCloud+, Hide My Email allows you to generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account. You dont have to share your personal email address when filling out forms or signing up for newsletters on the web (see Use Hide My Email in Safari on iPad) or when sending email (iPadOS 15.2 or later; see Use Hide My Email in Mail on iPad). Better understand the privacy of your browsing activities in Safari and help protect yourself against malicious websites Safari helps prevent trackers from following you across websites. You can review the Privacy Report to see a summary of trackers that have been encountered and prevented by Intelligent Tracking Prevention on the current webpage youre visiting. You can also review and adjust Safari settings to keep your browsing activities private from others who use the same device, and help protect yourself from malicious websites. See Browse privately in Safari on iPad. Control app tracking All apps must receive your permission before tracking you across apps and websites owned by other companies to target advertising to you or share your information with a data broker. After you grant or deny permission to an app, you can change permission later, and you can stop all apps from requesting permission. Use the internet more privately with iCloud Private Relay When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use iCloud Private Relay (beta) to help prevent websites and network providers from creating a detailed profile about you. When iCloud Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your iPad is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and location and network providers from collecting your browsing activity. A website or a network provider wont simultaneously know both who you are and what websites you visit. See Turn on iCloud Private Relay on iPad. To get personalized support for these practices, go to the Apple Support website (not available in all countries or regions). To learn more about how Apple protects your information, go to the Privacy website. Protect your iPad Set a passcode on iPad For better security, set a passcode that needs to be entered to unlock iPad when you turn it on or wake it.

Protect your accounts Keep your Apple ID secure on iPad Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more. Your account includes the email address and password you use to sign in as well as the contact, payment, and security details you use across Apple services. Apple employs industry-standard practices to safeguard your Apple ID. Best practices for maximizing the security of your Apple ID Dont share your Apple ID with other people, even family members. (You can name one or more people you trust as Account Recovery Contacts to help you regain access to your account if you ever get locked out.) To share purchases, subscriptions, a family calendar, and more without sharing Apple IDs, set up Family Sharing. Never provide your password, security questions, verification codes, recovery key, or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information. When accessing your Apple ID account page in Safari or another web browser, look for the lock icon in the address field to verify that your session is encrypted and secure. When using a public computer, always sign out when your session is complete to prevent other people from accessing your account. Avoid phishing scams. Dont click links in suspicious email or text messages and never provide personal information on any website you arent certain is legitimate. See the Apple Support article Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams. Dont use your password with other online accounts. Let two-factor authentication protect your account. If you create a new Apple ID on a device with iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, or later, your account automatically uses two-factor authentication. If you previously created an Apple ID account without two-factor authentication, turn on two-factor authentication. See Manage two-factor authentication for your Apple ID from iPad. Add Account Recovery Contacts Choose one or more people you trust as Account Recovery Contacts to help you reset your Apple ID password and regain access to your account if you ever forget your password or get locked out.

Also see the Apple Support article Data that a Legacy Contact can access. Generate a recovery key for your account For additional control over your account security, you have the option to generate a recovery key that helps you reset your account password or regain access to your Apple ID. A recovery key is a randomly generated 28-character code that you should keep in a safe place. You can reset your account password by either entering your recovery key or using another device already signed in with your Apple ID. To ensure you have access to your account, you are personally responsible for maintaining access to the recovery key and your trusted devices. See the Apple Support article How to generate a recovery key. For more information about best practices, see the Apple Support article Security and your Apple ID. To set up or manage your Apple ID, go to the Apple ID website. If you forgot your Apple ID or password, see the Recover your Apple ID website. Sign in with Apple on iPad With Sign in with Apple, you can sign in to participating apps and websites with your Apple ID. You dont need to create and remember new passwords, and your account is protected with two-factor authentication. Sign in with Apple is designed to respect your privacy. Apps and websites can ask only for your name and email address to set up your account, and Apple wont track you as you use them. Set up or upgrade an account to Sign in with Apple When a participating app or website asks you to set up or upgrade an account, do the following:

1. Tap Sign in with Apple. 2. Follow the onscreen instructions. Some apps (and websites) dont request your name and email address. In this case, you simply authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID (depending on your model), then start using the app. Others may ask for your name and email address to set up a personalized account. When an app asks for this information, Sign in with Apple displays your name and the personal email address from your Apple ID account for you to review. To edit your name, tap it, then use the keyboard to make changes. To specify an email address, do one of the following:

Use your personal email address: Tap Share My Email. If you have multiple email addresses associated with your Apple ID, choose the address you want. Hide your email address: Tap Hide My Email. This option allows you to receive email from the app without sharing your personal email address. When you choose this option, Apple creates a unique, random email address for you, and any email sent from the app to this address is forwarded to your personal address. After you review your information and choose an email option, tap Continue, authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID (depending on your model), then start using the app. Sign in to access your account After you set up an account with an app or website using Sign in with Apple, you typically dont need to sign in to it again on your iPad. But if youre asked to sign in (for example, after you sign out of an account), do the following:

1. Tap Sign in with Apple. 2. Review the Apple ID that appears, then tap Continue. 3. Authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID (depending on your model). Change the address used to forward email If you chose to hide your email address when you created an account and you have more than one address associated with your Apple ID, you can change the address that receives your forwarded email. 1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Name, Phone Numbers, Email > Forward To. 2. Choose a different email address, then tap Done. Change Sign in with Apple settings for an app or website 1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password and Security. 2. Tap Apps Using Your Apple ID. 3. Choose an app, then do either of the following:

Turn off forwarding email: Turn off Forward To. You wont receive any further emails from the app. Stop using Sign in with Apple: Tap Stop Using Apple ID. You may be asked to create a new account the next time you try to sign in with the app. Sign in with Apple also works on your other devicesiPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV, and iPod touchwhere youre signed in with the same Apple ID. To sign in from an Android app, a Windows app, or any web browser, tap Sign in with Apple, then enter your Apple ID and password. Sign in with Apple requires two-factor authentication for your Apple ID. This protects your Apple ID, your app accounts, and your app content. For information about how two-factor authentication works, see the Apple Support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple Support article What is Sign in with Apple?. Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPad When you sign up for services on websites and in apps, you can let iPad create strong passwords for many of your accounts. iPad stores the passwords in iCloud Keychain and fills them in for you automatically, so you dont have to memorize them. Note: Instead of creating an account and password, use Sign in with Apple when a participating app or website invites you to set up an account. Sign in with Apple uses the Apple ID you already have, and it limits the information shared about you. Create a strong password for a new account 1. On the new account screen for the website or app, enter a new account name. For supported websites and apps, iPad suggests a unique, complex password. 2. Do one of the following:

Choose the suggested password: Tap Use Strong Password. Make up your own password: Tap Choose My Own Password. 3. To later allow iPad to automatically fill in the password for you, tap Yes when youre asked if you want to save the password. Note: For iPad to create and store passwords, iCloud Keychain must be turned on. Go to Settings

Make your passwords available on all your devices with iPad and iCloud Keychain Use iCloud Keychain to keep your website and app passwords, credit card information, Wi-Fi network information, and other account information up to date across all of your approved devices and Mac computers. (iOS 7, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.9, or later required.) iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and its data cannot be read by Apple. iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices and Mac computers. Set up iCloud Keychain If you didnt turn on iCloud Keychain when you first set up your iPad, go to Settings

> iCloud > Keychain, turn on iCloud Keychain, then follow the onscreen instructions.

> [your name]

When you set up iCloud Keychain, you create an iCloud Security Code, which you can use to authorize additional devices that use your iCloud Keychain. Its also used for verification so that you can perform other iCloud Keychain actions, such as recovering your iCloud Keychain if you lose all your devices. Set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device When you turn on iCloud Keychain on an additional device, your other devices using iCloud Keychain receive a notification requesting your approval of the additional device. On one of your other devices, approve the additional device. Your iCloud Keychain automatically begins updating on the additional device. To approve iCloud Keychain when you dont have access to your other devices, follow the onscreen instructions to use your iCloud Security Code. Note: If you enter your iCloud Security Code incorrectly too many times, you cant use that iCloud Keychain. You can contact Apple Support on the Apple Support website to verify your identity and try again. After several incorrect attempts, your keychain is removed from Apples servers, and you need to set it up again. To learn more about iCloud Keychain, see the Apple Support article Set up iCloud Keychain. Automatically fill in verification codes on iPad Some websites and apps offer two-factor authentication (also known as multifactor authentication), which helps prevent other people from accessing your accounts even if they know your passwords. Passwords are the first authentication factor, and temporary, one-time verification codes are commonly a second factor. iPad can automatically generate these verification codes without your reliance on SMS messages or additional apps. Set up automatic verification codes for a website or app by scanning a QR code If you have another device with a screen, like a computer or iPhone, you can use it to display a QR code from a website or app, then use the iPad camera to scan the code. 1. On your other device, sign in to the area of the website or app where you manage your account, then select options to enable two-factor authentication and an authenticator app. A QR code appears to help you set up an authenticator app. 2. On iPad, use the camera to scan the QR code. 3. On iPad, select your account for the website or app. A verification code appears below the User Name and Password fields. 4. On your other device, enter the verification code that appears on your iPad. Set up automatic verification codes for a website or app by entering a setup key If you cant scan a QR code from another screen, you can manually enter a setup key. 1. Sign in to the area of the website or app where you manage your account, then select options to enable two-factor authentication and an authenticator app. 2. Choose the option to manually use a setup key (or setup code or similar), then select and copy the setup key. 3. Go to Settings

> Passwords, then select your account for the website or app. 4. Tap Set Up Verification Code, then tap Enter Setup Key. 5. Tap the Setup Key field, tap Paste, then tap OK. 6. Tap the Verification Code field, then tap Copy Verification Code. 7. Return to the website or app, then paste the verification code where directed. Use a verification code on a website or in an app 1. Sign in to the website or app. 2. If prompted, select the option to use an authenticator app. 3. When asked for a verification code, tap the suggestion that appears above the keyboard. If no suggestion appears, go to Settings app, tap the verification code, then tap Copy Verification Code. Return to the website or app, then paste the verification code into the field.

> Passwords, select your account for the website or Manage two-factor authentication for your Apple ID from iPad Two-factor authentication helps prevent others from accessing your Apple ID account, even if they know your Apple ID password. Two-factor authentication for Apple ID is built into iOS 9, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.11, or later. Certain features in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS require the security of two-factor authentication, which is designed to protect your information. If you create a new Apple ID on a device with iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, or later, your account automatically uses two-factor authentication. If you previously created an Apple ID account without two-factor authentication, you can turn on its extra layer of security at any time. Note: Certain account types may be ineligible for two-factor authentication at the discretion of Apple. Two-factor authentication isnt available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of two-factor authentication for Apple ID. For information about how two-factor authentication works, see the Apple Support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID. Turn on two-factor authentication 1. If your Apple ID account isnt already using two-factor authentication, go to Settings

> [your name] > Password & Security. 2. Tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication, then tap Continue. 3. Enter a trusted phone number (a phone number where you want to receive verification codes for two-factor authentication). You can choose to receive the codes by text message or automated phone call. 4. Tap Next. 5. Enter the verification code sent to your trusted phone number. To send or resend a verification code, tap Didnt get a verification code?

You wont be asked for a verification code again on your iPad unless you sign out completely, erase your iPad, sign in to your Apple ID account page in a web browser, or need to change your Apple ID password for security reasons. After you turn on two-factor authentication, you have a two-week period during which you can turn it off. After that period, you cant turn off two-factor authentication. To turn it off, open your confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind that turning off two-factor authentication makes your account less secure and means you cant use features that require a higher level of security. Note: If you use two-step verification and upgrade to iPadOS 13 or later, your account might be migrated to use two-factor authentication. See the Apple Support article Two-step verification for Apple ID. Add another device as a trusted device A trusted device is one that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser. A trusted device must meet these minimum system requirements: iOS 9, iPadOS 13, or OS X 10.11. 1. After you turn on two-factor authentication on one device, sign in with the same Apple ID on another device. 2. When youre asked to enter a six-digit verification code, do one of the following:

Obtain the verification code on your iPad or another trusted device thats connected to the internet: Look for a notification on that device, then tap or click Allow to make the code appear on that device. (A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac on which youve already turned on two-factor authentication and on which youre signed in with your Apple ID.) Obtain the verification at a trusted phone number: If a trusted device isnt available, tap Didnt get a verification code? then choose a phone number. Obtain the verification code on a trusted device thats offline: On a trusted iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security, then tap Get Verification Code. On a trusted Mac with macOS 10.15 or later, choose Apple menu Preferences > Apple ID > Password & Security, then click Get Verification Code. On a trusted Mac with macOS 10.14 and earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud >

Account Details > Security, then click Get Verification Code.

> System 3. Enter the verification code on the new device. You wont be asked for a verification code again unless you sign out completely, erase your device, sign in to your Apple ID account page in a web browser, or need to change your Apple ID password for security reasons. Add or remove a trusted phone number When you enrolled in two-factor authentication, you had to verify one trusted phone number. You should also consider adding other phone numbers you can access, such as a home phone, or a number used by a family member or close friend. 1. Go to Settings

> [your name] > Password & Security. 2. Tap Edit (above the list of trusted phone numbers), then do one of the following:

Add a number: Tap Add a Trusted Phone Number. Remove a number: Tap next to the phone number. Trusted phone numbers dont automatically receive verification codes. If you cant access any trusted devices when setting up a new device for two-factor authentication, tap Didnt get a verification code? on the new device, then choose one of your trusted phone numbers to receive the verification code. View or remove trusted devices 1. Go to Settings

> [your name]. A list of the devices associated with your Apple ID appears near the bottom of the screen. 2. To see if a listed device is trusted, tap it, then look for This device is trusted and can receive Apple ID verification codes. 3. To remove a device, tap it, then tap Remove from Account. Removing a trusted device ensures that it can no longer display verification codes and that access to iCloud (and other Apple services on the device) is blocked until you sign in again with two-

factor authentication. Generate a password for an app that signs in to your Apple ID account With two-factor authentication, you need an app-specific password to sign in to your Apple ID account from a third-party app or servicesuch as an email, contacts, or calendar app. After you generate the app-specific password, use it to sign in to your Apple ID account from the app and access the information you store in iCloud. 1. Sign in to your Apple ID account. 2. Tap Generate Password (below App-Specific Passwords). 3. Follow the onscreen instructions. After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the app as you would normally. For more information, see the Apple Support article Using app-specific passwords.

For more information about app tracking, tap Learn More near the top of the screen. Control the location information you share on iPad You control whether iPad and apps have information about your location. To figure out where you are when getting directions, setting up meetings, and more, Location Services uses information (when available) from GPS networks (iPad models with Wi-Fi + Cellular), your Bluetooth connections, your local Wi-Fi networks, and your cellular network (iPad models with Wi-Fi + Cellular, if you have Cellular Data turned on). When an app is using Location Services, appears in the status bar. When you set up iPad, youre asked if you want to turn on Location Services. Afterward, you can turn Location Services on or off at any time. The first time an app wants location data from your iPad, you receive a request with an explanation. Some apps may make a one-time only request for your location. Other apps may ask you to share your location now and in the future. Whether you grant or deny ongoing access to your location, you can change an apps access later. Turn on Location Services If you didnt turn on Location Services when you first set up iPad, go to Settings Location Services, then turn on Location Services.

Date: September 16, 2021 Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory Division 7435 Oakland Mills Rd. Columbia MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality Ref: FCC ID numbers Model(s) A2588 A2589, A2591 FCC ID BCGA2588 BCGA2589 To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commissions rules (47 CFR 0.457, 0.459), Apple Inc. hereby requests confidential treatment for documents filed with the Commission in connection with the application for equipment authorization referenced above. Permanent Confidentiality Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing indefinitely:

Block Diagrams Electrical Schematic Diagrams Technical Descriptions, Product Specifications Antenna Gain, Antenna Locations Tune-up Procedure Software Security Description These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed to the public even after commercial release of a device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair advantage even after commercial release of the device. v1.0 Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA www.apple.com Short Term Confidentiality In addition to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commissions policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR 2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR 2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices, Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing for one hundred eighty days after the date the grant of equipment authorization is issued:

External Photographs Internal Photographs Test Setup Photographs User Manual These documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publicly disclosed in marketing materials and is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed publicly prior to the commercial release of the device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission prior to commercial release would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair market advantage. Apple Inc. believes the period of confidentiality requested is necessary to protect the information until the commercial release of a device. It is our understanding that measurement test reports and FCC ID label format cannot be granted as confidential documents and this information will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued.
