Account deletion within apps required starting January 31

Account deletion within apps required starting January 31

October 6, 2021

The updates to App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1 last June provided
users with greater control over their personal data, stating that all
apps that allow for account creation must also allow users to
initiate deletion of their account from within the app. This
requirement applies to all app submissions starting January 31, 2022.
We encourage you to review any laws that may require you to maintain
certain types of data, and to make sure your app clearly explains
what data your app collects, how it collects that data, all uses of
that data, your data retention/deletion policies, and more as
described in the guideline. Examples of this type of data include
electronic health records, and sales and warranty records. Please
also confirm that the app privacy information on your product page is
accurate.
