A Surrey, British Columbia woman has filed an action in the B.C. Supreme Court, alleging that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has violated her privacy and the security rights of users of mobile devices running the software operating system iOS4.

They include the iPhone, iPad and iPod.

The suit has been filed under the Class Proceedings Act by Amanda Ladas, who is bidding to have it certified as a class action suit.

Subject to a court hearing that is likely to occur late in 2013, between two and seven million users of the iPhone, iPad and iPod devices in Canada would be eligible to join the class action suit against Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple, which ranks as one of the world’s leading consumer electronics and personal computer companies.
