Legal Documents Built for App Developers

Apple and Google both make a privacy policy a condition of being listed. Apple requires a privacy policy link in App Store Connect and inside the app, plus App Privacy Details, the nutrition label that summarizes what you collect. Google Play requires a privacy policy and a Data safety section in the Play Console, even for apps that collect nothing. Your store listing and your privacy policy have to match, because several states now treat a gap between the two as a deceptive practice.

Apple requires you to ask permission through its App Tracking Transparency framework before you track users or read the advertising identifier on iOS, and your disclosures have to describe that tracking accurately. The same goes for the SDKs, analytics, crash reporting, and ad tools most apps embed, because each one that sees user data belongs in both your privacy policy and your store label.

Apps that children under 13 can use fall under COPPA, and the rule tightened in 2025. The FTC's amended COPPA Rule took effect June 23, 2025, with full compliance due by April 22, 2026, and it widened the definition of personal information, required separate parental consent before you share a child's data with third parties, and added a written security program and data retention policy. An app built for kids, or one that knowingly draws them, needs consent flows and disclosures built for that standard.

TermsBuilder builds your terms and privacy policy from how the app operates, because an app with subscriptions, uploaded content, location access, or third-party SDKs needs different language than a single-purpose utility. Our questionnaire asks what the app collects, which permissions it requests, and which services it calls, then writes disclosures that line up with the store labels you have to file.
