                 Apple's Data Privacy Day Touts Privacy Efforts

   Josh Centers

   Apple has declared 28 January 2021 [1]Data Privacy Day, taking the
   opportunity to tout its new app privacy labels in the iOS App Store and
   the upcoming App Tracking Transparency feature that will force
   developers to prompt users before tracking their data across apps or
   sharing that data with other companies (see '[2]Apple Unveils Stringent
   Disclosure and Opt-in Privacy Requirements for Apps,' 7 January 2021).

   Meanwhile, on the other side of the privacy spectrum, news broke at the
   same time that [3]Facebook is preparing an antitrust suit against Apple
   over the App Tracking Transparency feature.

   Apple has also published a PDF report, called '[4]A Day in the Life of
   Your Data,' which explains how tech companies track you and how Apple
   technologies try to prevent that tracking.
