The next time you try to download an app from the App Store onto your iPhone or iPad, you may notice a new App Privacy section that seeks to clue you in on certain details.
With the release of iOS/iPadOS 14.3 this past Monday, any new or updated app must include a privacy label, otherwise it won't be allowed on the App Store.
Click the See Details link next to App Privacy, and you'll find out what specific data the app collects and links about its users for targeted ads, product personalization, and app functionality.
"The Apple App Privacy details summary on the App Store helps to open the door to this critical conversation. We believe it is also important that people understand how their data is used, the obligations providers have to protect that data, and the controls individuals have to monitor, disable, and delete their data."
"If we don't, they will block Facebook from the App Store, which would only further harm the people and businesses that rely on our services. We believe Apple is behaving anti-competitively by using their control of the App Store to benefit their bottom line at the expense of app developers and small businesses."
