Deadline
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an app without a privacy policy, but apparently they’re out there. And soon it will be a requirement. The move makes sense given Apple’s privacy stance, although having a privacy policy doesn’t necessarily mean the app will respect your privacy. It’s just a way to tell users what the app will do with their data.
To add or edit your privacy policy for the App Store:
- Go to My Apps in App Store Connect, and click on your app.
- Under App Store, click on App Information.
- In the top right corner, add your privacy policy link for iOS apps or macOS apps, or enter text directly for tvOS apps.
- Click Save.
