All Google flagship iOS apps now feature Apple’s privacy labels

Apple’s privacy labels are designed to help you understand how apps handle your data, including apps Apple develops. Now, all of Google’s flagship apps now feature Apple’s privacy labels. This page shows the privacy labels for Apple’s iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps together in one place.

The new privacy nutrition label requires every app — including Apple’s — to give users an easy-to-view summary of the developer’s privacy practices.

Mike Peterson for AppleInsider:

Google delayed providing privacy information. Because it didn’t comply with Apple’s guidelines, it meant that some of Google’s iOS apps didn’t see updates for months.

Google began to submit the necessary privacy data in February when both its YouTube app and Gmail app were updated with privacy data. On March 1, it also updated Google Docs and Google Calendar.

According to The 8-bit, Google on Tuesday updated the last of its flagship iOS apps: Google Photos.

MacDailyNews Take: As Apple says, “Transparency is the best policy.”

  1. That’s cool. Doesn’t affect me in the least. Will never have a Google or Facebook owned apps near my phone. I watch YouTube via Brave (no ads). Surveillance capitalism is for the cheap and naive. Not me.

  2. Transparency IS the best policy. It’s why I, Jane D!ngler, am a dangler no longer. I am an zlA bipolar transsexual, so like Apple, the trans side of things is very important to me. I am a parent also, so transparency is my entire existence. Except for the art I paint, that’s my entire existence, too. They’re my little babies. Making me feel very maternal. It’s not the hormones, I just a D!ngler with a tingle deep inside. I miss dangling but that’s not part of my life anymore. At least I live and love in LA, the most progressive city in the most progressive state in what is now thanks to our wonderful and beloved President Biden, fast becoming the most progressive country in the world. Timmy is also a progressive, I love him for it.

    D!ngle dangle dongle no more,
    Now it’s just my ego that drops to the floor,
    Being a fixed gender is just such a bore
    When you are fluid you get so much more

    It is so, so liberating being Jane D!ngler, LA bilpolar transsexual, and I love the transparency. Caitlin Jenner is my spirit animal.
