From my comment in a previous thread on the same topic [1]: "This is about a request used to report a click in the app store, which is technically specified in the privacy policy [2] and you can get a CSV of it from Apple in data requests."
The previous thread was more about whether these logs should exist at all, but as far as the lawsuit goes I (not a lawyer) expect it will go nowhere. I'm kind of sympathetic to the idea that companies shouldn't get to advertise their "commitment to privacy" while having terrible privacy practices, but the legal standard for deceptive advertising seems to be higher and that's probably for good reason. Specific regulation of how online privacy tools can be marketed would be another, more interesting conversation.
