Yep, Apple takes privacy seriously.

Bug reports sometimes also contain proprietary code that help Apple pinpoint the bug. If you worked for a company and were working on a brand new software product, would you want your competitors to have the ability to search bug reports for your email address (or all addresses at *@xyz.com), knowing that you are having trouble with a specific API?

BTW, Apple Developer Relations has updated its privacy policy for bug reports where data you submit will be deleted from inactive bug reports after a period of time.




A private bug tracker also means that Apple can use the same bug tracker to collect reports about devices or functionality which isn't available to the public.
