News in the privacy disclosure world.
Apple announced it will require mobile apps to self-report data privacy practices and will display this as a “nutrition label” in the app.
“Today, we require that apps have a privacy policy. Wouldn’t it be great to even more quickly and easily see a summary of an app’s privacy practices before you download it? Now, where have we seen something like that before? For food, you have nutrition labels; you can see if it’s packed with protein or loaded with sugar, or maybe both, all before you buy it. So we thought it would be great to have something similar for apps. We’re going to require each developer to self-report their practices.”
