Every app on the App Store and Google Play needs a privacy policy. Generate one that covers device permissions, SDKs, GDPR, CCPA, and app store requirements — in under 2 minutes.
Generate App Privacy Policy — Free →Yes. Both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store require a privacy policy for all apps that collect any user data. Apps without a privacy policy can be rejected during review or removed from the store.
It should disclose what data you collect (device info, location, contacts, camera access), how you use it, which third-party SDKs you include (analytics, crash reporting, ad networks), user rights under GDPR/CCPA, and how users can request data deletion.
Mobile apps typically access device permissions (camera, microphone, location, contacts) that websites don't. Your policy needs to specifically disclose each permission you request and why. You also need to cover App Tracking Transparency (iOS) and Google Play Data Safety requirements.
If your app tracks users across other apps or websites (e.g., for advertising), you must implement ATT and disclose this in your privacy policy. Even if you don't track, your policy should state that clearly.
For Apple, go to App Store Connect → your app → App Information and paste your privacy policy URL into the Privacy Policy URL field. For Google Play, open the Google Play Console → Policy → App content → Data Safety, and provide your policy URL there. Both stores require a publicly accessible link — not a PDF or local file.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) applies if your app is directed at children under 13 or knowingly collects data from them. You must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information, clearly disclose your data practices in the privacy policy, and implement age gating if your app serves both children and adults. Non-compliance can result in FTC fines up to $50,000 per violation.
Yes. A single privacy policy can cover both platforms as long as it addresses platform-specific requirements — Apple's App Tracking Transparency, Google Play's Data Safety disclosures, and any permission differences between your iOS and Android versions. Mention both stores by name and cover all SDKs and permissions used on each platform.
