Apple says all iOS, Mac apps must add privacy nutrition labels from December 8; here is what it means

When Cuppertino-based firm Apple announced many privacy features with the introduction of iOS 14 in September, it did not include the concept of privacy “nutrition label.” Now, the company has announced that all app developers are needed to provide the information for labels. These labels will be added from December 8 this year. Just like there is a nutrition label at the back of an item stating the lists ingredients and caloric content, iOS apps will also have privacy “labels” that are aimed at providing all the details about apps before users install them from either the iOS App Store or Mac App Store. Apple said that labels will have all the information on what the app collects. It will also present that visually on the app page. The experience is similar to reading the labels of items in a grocery store.
