Apples Privacy initiative for Apps
summary
Apple publishes a structured App Store “nutrition label” that lists 32 data types and groups them into three clear buckets: data not linked to you, data used to track you. Developers complete a questionnaire in a portal, pick purposes (analytics, advertising, app functionality), and the store shows icons, drill‑down pages, privacy policy links and definitions. Updates require completed labels and an opt-in prompt to track across companies; the system aims to scale to every app and surface tracking that users can block.
