These apple privacy questions are confusing and highly legally relevant. We found it very hard to accurately answer the questions for a SAAS company that collects data in an obvious way to provide service. It should not be a surprise to anyone that companies are taking some time to answer, and also see if Apple makes any relevant changes post launch, and also to let customers get used to seeing these notices in other apps.
- tdrp 6y agoAs a B2C app, we're also really confused by a bunch of them and are waiting to see if they will clarify or refactor it in a better way. A lot of our entry fields fall under the "if you manually enter it we will use it to refine the results". Sure, you can put your age, or upload your picture to your profile if you want to. But you obviously don't have to. But it's not clear if that is enough to pass the "optional disclosure" bar that they have which specifies: "Collection of the data occurs only in infrequent cases that are not part of your app’s primary functionality, and which are optional for the user." What is infrequent here, or how far are these features from the app's "primary functionality". If we don't meet the optional disclosure bar it makes it sound like we're forcing users to give us all kinds of data. They also don't seem to obviously differentiate between data you collect for functionality and data that is used for advertising/third parties unless you click through to the details.
