It is obvious that Apple has been aiming to ensure their customers' privacy with all the advertisements that we've watched before a YouTube video. To walk the talk, the company has decided to introduce something like a nutrition list on a packaged food but make it for apps on the App Store.

To further ensure the privacy of the users, the tech giant now requires the developers to answer a series of questions regarding data collection when submitting a new app on the App Store. After doing so, the company will summarize the answers replied and let the users read it before diving into a new app.

It is mentioned that the process will require only the developers who will be collecting users' data from the app, either through themselves or a third-party such as analytics tools and ad networks. For summarization, Apple will need to work hard on this part as not everyone is willing to read through a long article to understand the policies before using an app.
