Apple’s new “privacy labels” are a welcome change and have had a huge impact on privacy practices in mobile apps because:

  • they require apps offered in Apple’s App Store to disclose if they are collecting certain kinds of data;

  • they require apps to disclose if information collected can be connected to users; and

  • because they show users through quick graphical representations what kind of information is being collected on them by a particular app.

Read about how Apple is now requiring privacy labels on all apps available through the app store to help consumers clearly identify how user data is collected and used.
