The South Korean government has levied fines against Apple after it was found using illegally obtained data to predict when users couldn’t pay for App Store purchases — and Apple’s representatives aren’t in the mood to talk about it.

In January, Apple had been fined by the South Korean government for using data illegally obtained without users’ consent. The fines totaled 4.65 billion won, a sum that works out to be just under $3.2 million.
During the February 25 meeting with the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC), Apple representatives were asked which other countries used Apple’s NSF scores. According to The Korea Herald, the representatives responded by saying “It is hard to make a public statement because we have to confer with our client. We do not know exactly.”
