Here’s an interesting piece of Apple news. Ok maybe it’s not as interesting as it’s informative. Apple decided to post information about “including a privacy policy in your apps“.
The blog entry has more or less the same content that we’ve earlier posted in “iOS 8 Starts Today, so Do New Privacy Requirements“. Nonetheless, it’s very interesting to see Apple being so vocal about the whole privacy topic lately:
To ensure that customers understand how their data will be used, you must provide a link in the Privacy Policy URL field in iTunes if a privacy policy is required by law in your country or if your app does any of the following:
- Accesses user or device data
- Offers an account registration process
- Accesses a user’s existing account
- Uses the HomeKit Framework or HealthKit Framework
- Integrates Apple Pay
- Includes keyboard extensions
- Contains auto-renewable subscriptions or free subscriptions
- Appears in the Kids Category
For more details, read the App Store Review Guidelines.
