This Ars Technica article discusses code in Apple's iPhone OS that can have no other purpose but to collect data on users.

Yes, I'd like to see this guy do some dissection on Android and WP, but this is damning. I know there are a lot of users who think that since everything about them is out there anyway, they've surrendered the field concerning their privacy.

Well, they can "diagnose" someone else's personal data... I already feel like I live in a fishbowl. I don't need to do so intentionally.
