People Come First

At Apple, our respect for human rights begins with our commitment to treating everyone with dignity and respect. But it doesn’t end there.

We believe in the power of technology to empower and connect people around the world— and that business can and should be a force for good. Achieving that takes innovation, hard work, and a focus on serving others.

It also means leading with our values. Our human rights policy governs how we treat everyone—from our customers and teams to our business partners and people at every level of our supply chain.

With humility, optimism, and an abiding faith in people, we’re committed to respecting the human rights of everyone whose lives we touch.

Our Commitment to Human Rights

We’re deeply committed to continually assessing our progress and building the lessons we learn into everything we do. We’ve worked hard to embed a respect for human rights across our company—in the technology we make, in the way we make it, and in how we treat people.

The Technology We Make

As a global technology company, we feel a deep sense of responsibility to make technology for people that respects their human rights, empowers them with useful tools and information, and enhances their overall quality of life.

We do that with our uncompromising commitment to security and user privacy—setting the industry standard for minimizing personal data collection. We build privacy protections into everything we make—from products like iPhone, to services like Apple Pay, to our comprehensive review process for every app on the App Store.
