In addition to the App Tracking Transparency feature in iOS 14.5, last year Apple started placing App Privacy Labels on App Listings in the App Store. The labels reveal what kind of data an app collects from users and how that data can be used to collect personal information. As Apple explained in a December support document, “The App Store now helps users better understand an app’s privacy practices before they download an app on any Apple platform.”
Apple continued by stating that “On each app’s product page, users can learn about some of the data types an app may collect, and whether that data is linked to them or used to track them. As a reminder, your app’s privacy information is required to submit new apps and app updates to the App Store, and some data is optional to disclose if it meets specific criteria, such as certain data from health research apps and regulated financial services. You may update your answers at any time without resubmitting your app or going through App Review.”
