Apple’s new privacy labels on the App Store is now live: Here’s everything you need to know

At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) earlier this year in June, Apple had announced that all apps on the App Store would soon sport privacy labels. These privacy labels are easy-to-view summaries of data, in any form, that the app collects so as users get an idea of what they are parting with/sharing once they start using the app.

And these privacy labels have now gone live.

All apps on the App Store need to show this privacy information on the app stores across iPhones, iPads, macOS, watchOS and tvOS including Apple’s own apps. Reporting privacy practices is a part of the app submission process and applies to all developers, including Apple.
