The label has no “Data Used to Track You” section.
No. Defender 24-7's label has no “Data Used to Track You” section, so the developer states it does not link your data with other companies' data for advertising or sell it to data brokers. It does collect contact info, of which contact info is linked to you.
What “tracking” means on an iPhone
Apple defines tracking as linking data from this app with data from other companies' apps, websites or offline sources for targeted advertising or ad measurement, or sharing it with a data broker. It is narrower than “collecting data”: an app can collect a lot without tracking you, and a small app can track you with a single advertising SDK.
Since iOS 14.5, App Tracking Transparency requires every app to ask before it accesses your device's advertising identifier or otherwise tracks you. The App Store label is where the developer declares which of its data is used that way. Defender 24-7 declares none, so it has no reason to show that prompt.
What Defender 24-7 collects instead
No tracking does not mean no collection. Defender 24-7's label lists 1 data type, and contact info is linked to your identity:
- Contact Info — your name, email address, phone number or postal address (linked to you, not linked to you)
How to stop Defender 24-7 from tracking you
- When Defender 24-7 shows the tracking prompt, tap Ask App Not to Track.
- Already said yes? Open Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking and switch off the toggle next to Defender 24-7.
- To refuse every app in one go, switch off Allow Apps to Request to Track on the same screen. Apps then cannot ask, and are treated as if you declined.
- For Apple's own ads in the App Store, News and Stocks, see Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising and turn off Personalised Ads.
- Inside Defender 24-7, look for an analytics or personalised-ads switch in its own settings; it covers data the iOS switch does not.
