German authority orders Apple data policy changes
The German Federal Competition Authority has issued a ruling requiring Apple to modify its rules for using personal data in advertisements on iPhones and iPads. This follows its finding that the "App Tracking Transparency" framework gives its own apps a preferential approval rate compared to third-party developers, which could constitute a violation of competition rules. Apple must implement these changes within four months, with the commitments lasting for seven years under the supervision of an independent entity. The requirements include designing approval request windows in a neutral manner and facilitating the integration of consent requests with other data protection measures. These measures come after fines imposed on the company by France and Italy over the same issue. This step is an important move towards enhancing competition and protecting user data.
