A flurry of reports and forum posts surfaced yesterday that said the Palm Pre violates its users privacy by periodically sending its location to Palm, Inc.
The company has responded with a statement:

"Palm takes privacy very seriously, and offers users ways to turn data collecting services on and off. Our privacy policy is like many policies in the industry and includes very detailed language about potential scenarios in which we might use a customer's information, all toward a goal of offering a great user experience. For instance, when location based services are used, we collect their information to give them relevant local results in Google Maps. We appreciate the trust that users give us with their information, and have no intention to violate that trust."

  X; Y8 E1 ?* w  d" iThe actual collecting of location data is being done by Google, who uses it to help find problems in the version of Google Maps on the Pre. Users have the option to stop sending diagnostic information of this kind, while still  being able to use the location-based services.

OK，就用英文原版标题吧！
