Apple’s new privacy policy, called “MMP,” allows senders to bury 1-by-1 pixel images in email headers or footers, so that they can learn more about the user’s online behavior. If an email is opened, the image loads and transmits data about the user’s location, which can be used to create a profile of their online behavior. However, Apple has claimed that MPP does not allow any distant material to download in the background, meaning that the data collected by those tracking pixels is useless.
Apple has claimed that it does not learn anything about users during the process of sending or receiving email, and that MPP also prevents senders from discovering your IP address. However, we found that Apple does in fact look up your IP address when sending or receiving email, and that MPP does not offer any protection against tracking pixels.
