Final Words
Apple’s new privacy policy known as app tracking transparency (ATT) mandates that mobile advertisers obtain users’ permission before monitoring them. Advertisers must specifically request users’ consent before tracking them across applications and websites run by businesses other than Apple. With this change, businesses will need to ensure that they are following the rules and ensuring that their users are comfortable with the data collection and tracking practices.
