Gmail gets App Store privacy labels letting iPhone, iPad users check all the ways Google may collect their data
Google has finally added Apple App Store’s privacy labels to its Gmail app. Google was supposed to do this way earlier, more precisely a month earlier, but for some curious reason it failed to do so. That said, the Gmail app for iOS is still not getting any update, security or otherwise, as Google chose to add the privacy labels to it rather silently.
While the company did not announce any new update for iOS users, it has simply added the privacy labels to its Gmail app. With the introduction of new privacy labels, users will now not get any new features or bugs. However, users will be informed about all the ways Google may collect their data through Gmail.
According to the data, the app can share users’ coarse location along with user ID with advertisers. Also, it can collect information based on users’ interaction with advertisements.
