## App Privacy
Apple requires detailed privacy disclosures:
### Privacy Policy
Provide URL to your privacy policy. It must:
* Be accessible to all users
* Be in the primary language of your app
* Clearly explain what data you collect
### App Privacy Details
Answer questions about data collection:
1. **Contact Info** — Name, email, phone, address
2. **Health & Fitness** — Health, fitness data
3. **Financial Info** — Payment info, credit score
4. **Location** — Precise or coarse location
5. **Contacts** — Address book

If your app only uses standard analytics (like Apple's), you likely only need to declare "Usage Data" and "Diagnostics" as not linked to identity.
