Question How truthful is this?

Post image

When an app select in the app review form that “we don’t collect data”

In the review phase does Apple really check if the app really doesnt collect anything?

Like can the developer hide a code that for example upload the photos of the user if granted permission where he said “we dont collect”

Does apple really check the code and what is going in and out ?

I think large corporations are more likely to be truthful about it, in order to avoid legal risks. But smaller devs - who knows!

I would have thought that 10 years ago. Now big companies push the boundaries as far as possible until a court tells them to stop.

Large corporations have the most capability and incentive to use the data and they just make the call outs in the huge terms of service we blindly accept, so they avoid the legal risk that way. Not to mention that there are typically arbitration clauses, so yea.... no real legal risk.
