iOS Privacy Manifest
Overview
Based on Apple's requirement, the SAP Engagement Cloud SDK includes an iOS Privacy Manifest that declares the categories of data the SDK may collect. This file is automatically included in the framework and requires no action from app developers.
What Data Categories Does the SDK Declare?
The SDK declares the following data collection categories as defined by Apple:
| Data Category | What This Means | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Other Usage Data | Information about how users interact with the SDK | Product personalization, advertising, analytics |
| Device ID | Generated UUID | Advertising, product personalization |
| User ID | User identifiers | Advertising, product personalization |
Note: These are Apple-defined categories that describe what types of data the SDK is capable of collecting. The actual data collected depends on how you implement and configure the SDK.
Do I Need to Do Anything?
No action is required from your side. The Privacy Manifest is automatically included in the SDK framework. When you submit your app to the App Store, Apple automatically detects and includes this information in your app's privacy disclosure.
What Will Appear in the App Store?
The data categories declared by the SDK appear in:
- Your app's privacy nutrition labels in the App Store
- Xcode's Privacy Report during app submission
- App Store Connect's privacy declarations
You should review these declarations to ensure they match your app's privacy policy.
Does the SDK Track Users Across Apps?
No. The SDK collects data for your own app's personalization and marketing purposes. It does not link data across different companies' apps or websites for advertising purposes.
If you plan to use the SDK for cross-app tracking or share data with third-party advertising networks, you must implement App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompts in your app.
