Apple stressed that developers should follow the following principles when submitting privacy information for applications:
All data collected by developers or third-party partners needs to be clearly stated, even if some data is only collected and used in limited circumstances.
App privacy practices should follow app store audit guidelines and all applicable laws.
It is the developer's responsibility to ensure that the answers are accurate and up-to-date. If the data collection and usage of the application change, you need to go to the app store connect to update the privacy information. The privacy information can be updated at any time, and there is no need to submit an app update for this.
It should be noted that the privacy question is for the entire app, so the data collection and use of the app on all platforms should be reflected in the answer. If the app collects more data on one platform than on another, it should select all the data types involved in the response, and also explain how the developer app and the third-party partners (if the third-party code is integrated in the app) will treat the user's privacy information.
When filling in the privacy issue of app, it involves data type, data usage, etc. Apple's official explanation is very clear, so I won't say more here. You can open the following website to check.
