Even Apple makes opting out of sharing data with advertisers (IDFA) confusing[0] > Allow apps to ask permission to track you across apps and websites owned by

  If Apple made that say “allow apps to track you” and everyone set it to off and they didn’t mention that apps that don’t ask will still try to track you they’d be exposing themselves to a lawsuit when a company tracked Apple users without the IDFA. I think it could be better stated, but changing to to “allow apps to track you” would not be a setting they could actually offer.

    Yeah I’m sure plenty of lawyers laboured over this thing... Still doesn’t make it easy to understand. I think they could say that they (Apple) does not allow to track you, and they won’t facilitate tracking, but if an app does this covertly and without Apple’s blessing, it’s on the app and not on Apple. Of course that would put Apple on the line. Apple claims to care about privacy, but apprently not enough :)
