App privacy labels
Consistent with public app store disclosures.
Our website privacy labels are designed to mirror the public privacy disclosures we provide through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The iOS app is already approved, so we can show website-facing privacy labels now based on our App Store privacy answers. Google Play Data Safety labels will be reflected after the Play Store release process.
