The Apple Privacy Labels are a user-focused initiative by the technology brand that will help clearly dictate the exact kinds of information that gets used with specific programs. The feature was launched by the brand on its own apps last year, but is now being positioned on a dedicated section on its website to localize all the privacy-centric information. This makes it far easier for users to pinpoint exactly what they can expect when it comes to how their information is used when interacting with specific apps.
The new Apple Privacy Labels feature is being further optimized in anticipation of the upcoming iOS 14.5 update coming later this month that will give users further details on how their information is used by apps.
