Every app must tell users what data it collects about them before they download it, displayed as a privacy 'nutrition label' on the App Store listing.
Before downloading any app from the App Store, you can see a summary of what personal data — including location, contacts, browsing history, and financial information — the developer collects and whether it is linked to your identity.

Privacy nutrition labels give consumers the ability to make informed decisions about data collection before installing an app, but their accuracy depends entirely on developer honesty.
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Apple's privacy nutrition label requirement operationalizes GDPR Arts. 13-14 (transparency and information obligations), CCPA §1798.100 (right to know about data collection), and FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive practices — inaccurate labels constitute deceptive trade practices). The requirement also aligns with CPRA (Cal. Prop. 24) expanded disclosure obligations. Enforcement authorities include the FTC, California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), EU supervisory authorities (under GDPR), and ICO (UK GDPR). (2)
