Overview

The Apple Privacy Manifest enhances privacy and transparency for apps on Apple’s platforms. As part of Apple’s commitment to user privacy and data security, they introduced the “App Privacy Details” section — a privacy label for each app. The privacy manifest is a property list that records:

The types of data collected by an app or third-party SDK
The required reasons APIs an app or third-party SDK uses

For each type of data an app or third-party SDK collects and category of required reasons API it uses, the app or SDK needs to record the reasons in its bundled privacy manifest file.

Dependencies Requiring Privacy Declarations

SPTPersistentCache The React Native UI Kit uses a native module (a fork of react-native-video) that has an internal dependency on SPTPersistentCache. This library uses one of the APIs listed by Apple.
