# Privacy and App Tracking Transparency

**Adalo does not use any data for tracking or advertising purposes.** However, as the app developer, you are responsible for disclosing all data collected by your app, including any third-party services or integrations you have added.

Before publishing your app on the iOS App Store, you are required to report your app's privacy practices in App Store Connect. This affects how your app's Privacy Labels appear in the App Store listing.

{% endhint %}

Apple has two privacy-related requirements you should understand: **Privacy Labels** and **App Tracking Transparency.** 

* **Privacy labels** give users a summary of how your app handles their data. You can read more about it here:<https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/>&#x20;
* **App Tracking Transparency (ATT)** requires apps to request explicit user permission before tracking activity across other companies' apps and websites. If your app uses any third-party advertising or analytics tools that share data with ad networks, you will need to implement the ATT permission prompt. You can read more about it here: <https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=ecvrtzt2>&#x20;

## Walkthrough

These disclosures are completed in your Apple Developer account through [**App Store Connect**](https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/login), not within Adalo or your app itself.

Before publishing your app on the iOS App Store, you’ll need to report on your privacy practices. These steps will determine what your app’s Privacy Labels look like in the App Store listing.

There are two parts to this process:

1. **Data Collection:** Identifying the data collected
2. **Data Use:** Indicating how each data is used, whether it is tied to the user’s identity, and whether or not it is used for tracking purposes.&#x20;

***

## **Data Collection**

Because your app stores and retrieves data from Adalo's servers, you must select **"Yes, we collect data from this app"** when prompted in App Store Connect.

After clicking “Next”, you’ll report the data that your app ‘collects’. The answers here will vary depending on the components you use and the data you collect from your end-users. Then, for each type of data collected, you’ll report on how that data is used.

| ----------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |

| Diagnostics > Other Diagnostic Data | Analytics         | No                 | No                |

***

### Feature-Dependent Disclosures

The following disclosures are only required if your app uses the corresponding feature.

#### Email and Password Sign-In

| Data Type                    | Purpose           | Linked to Identity | Used for Tracking |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| Contact Info > Email Address | App Functionality | Yes                | No                |

#### Push Notifications

When a user agrees to receive notifications, Adalo stores their Device ID to deliver them.

| Data Type               | Purpose           | Linked to Identity | Used for Tracking |
| ----------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| Identifiers > Device ID | App Functionality | Yes                | No                |

#### Sign In with Apple

| Data Type                    | Purpose           | Linked to Identity | Used for Tracking |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| Contact Info > Name          | App Functionality | Yes                | No                |
| Contact Info > Email Address | App Functionality | Yes                | No                |

#### Google Maps

If you are using the Google Maps component to request location permissions, disclose both of the following:

| Data Type          | Purpose           | Linked to Identity | Used for Tracking |
| ------------------ | ----------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| Location > Precise | App Functionality | No                 | No                |
| Location > Coarse  | App Functionality | No                 | No                |

Your app will use location for **App Functionality**, and **is NOT** linked to the user’s identity. Location data **is NOT** used for tracking purposes. For more information on Google Maps privacy practices, see [Google's documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/apple-privacy-policy).

### Third-Party Services

If your app uses any of the following services, refer to their own privacy documentation to determine what additional disclosures are required.

* **Google Sign-In:** [Privacy documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/ios/app-privacy)
* **Stripe:** [Privacy documentation](https://support.stripe.com/questions/stripe-ios-sdk-privacy-details)
* **Google AdMob:** [Privacy documentation](https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/data-disclosure)
* **Mixpanel:** [Privacy documentation](https://mixpanel.com/legal/app-store-privacy-details/)

If you have integrated any other third-party tools, analytics platforms, or advertising SDKs, check their documentation for App Store privacy requirements. These integrations are a common reason for ATT-related App Store rejections.

For additional guidance on data types and definitions, see [Apple's Additional Guidance](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/#additional-guidance).
