Privacy manifest checker
Paste your app's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. Every key, data type, purpose and required reason code is checked against the values Apple lists, and explained in plain words. What you paste stays in your browser.
Try an example:
What it does
It reads the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy you paste, checks every value against the lists Apple publishes, and says in plain words what each one means: whether the app tracks, the domains it tracks through, the data it collects and why, and the required reason APIs it uses with their reason codes.
What a privacy manifest holds
Four keys at the top level:
- NSPrivacyTracking: whether the app tracks people, as App Tracking Transparency defines tracking.
- NSPrivacyTrackingDomains: the internet domains it connects to for tracking.
- NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes: each kind of data it collects, whether it is linked to the person or used to track, and why it is collected.
- NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes: the required reason APIs it uses, such as reading file timestamps or user defaults, each with an approved reason code.
What it can't tell you
It reads the file, not your app. It can't see what the app really collects, so the answers are only as true as what you declared. Your App Store privacy label should say the same things as the manifest.
Questions
Does my iPhone app need a privacy manifest?
Apple asks for one when your app, or code in it, collects data or uses one of the required reason APIs. Your App Store privacy label should match what it says.
What is a required reason API?
An API Apple says could be misused to identify a device, such as reading a file's timestamps, the free disk space or the system boot time. Using one means listing it with an approved reason code.
How do I see my PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy as text?
In Xcode, Control-click the file and choose Open As, then Source Code. Or in Terminal, plutil -convert xml1 -o - PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy prints it.
Is what I paste sent anywhere?
No. The checker runs in your browser and never sends the file to iPip or anyone else.
