2021-01-08 15:22

In organizations, Apple's App Privacy data can start a conversation about privacy-respecting apps as well as help IT leaders stop the use of apps that collect more data than necessary.

For more details, see: How Apple's new App Store privacy requirements may affect users and app developers.

In the App Store, you may tap See Details in the App Privacy section of an app to access all reported data that an app collects.

Figure A. If you want to track this information for all of your apps, you might create a spreadsheet with four columns: One for the app name, one for the most concerning app privacy category displayed, one for the data collected within the most concerning app privacy category, and another column for your initial identified action to take.

As each app updates, review App Privacy information.

If you use Apple devices, have you gone through a thorough review of the App Privacy data for your installed apps? What did you discover? How many apps did you delete, switch, or decide to tolerate based on the data they collect? In the comments or on Twitter, let me know what you learned from your App Privacy review.
