CUPERTINO, Calif. – Apple has begun spelling out what kinds of personal information is being collected by the digital services displayed in its app stores for iPhones and other products made by the trendsetting company.
Starting Monday, the additional disclosures will begin to appear in apps made for iPads, Mac computers and Apple's TV streaming device, as well as its biggest moneymaker, the iPhone.
Apple also has plans to impose a new mandate that will require all iPhone apps to obtain permission before tracking a person’s activities on the device.
The anti-tracking feature was supposed to be released in September, but Apple delayed after Facebook and many other app makers protested.
Apple is vowing to oust apps from its stores if they try to bypass the new anti-tracking rule when it becomes effective next year.
