IMO: nothing on the app store is private.
You MUST use apps built by someone else on the App Store and it's almost impossible to pull them apart on your own to check if they use libraries from eg. Facebook.
The whole App Store model extremely anti privacy. I think community maintained package repos like what you see on Linux distributions convinced people that this sort of thing would be an improvement, but what made package repos great was the community, the centralization was only a convenience.

The payment system itself has the same problem, but at least they don't fling private information back at me in unexpected moments, and the information they have is usually limited, and banks are (somehow) held to higher privacy standards.
