A privacy policy is required for an app when that app collects personal information from users who are protected by privacy laws, or if the app owners are subject to following any laws.
For example, apps with users in the EU/EEA might be subject to the GDPR, and those with users from California might be subject to the CCPA.
Privacy policies may also be required for apps that market to certain demographics, depending on applicable laws.
Even if a privacy policy isn’t legally required, third-party app services and platforms (such as Google Analytics and the App Store) require apps to have a legally-compliant privacy policy.
Even if a privacy policy isn’t legally required for your app, you can use an app privacy policy template to quickly create a policy that will help build trust with your app users.
