The label has no “Data Used to Track You” section.
No. Expense Tracker: Smart Receipt'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 financial info, contacts, contact info and identifiers, none of it 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. Expense Tracker: Smart Receipt declares none, so it has no reason to show that prompt.
What Expense Tracker: Smart Receipt collects instead
No tracking does not mean no collection. Expense Tracker: Smart Receipt's label lists 4 data types, none of it linked to you:
- Financial Info — card numbers, bank details, credit scores, salary, income, assets or debts (not linked to you)
- Contacts — the people in your address book or social graph (not linked to you)
- Contact Info — your name, email address, phone number or postal address (not linked to you)
- Identifiers — an account ID, screen name, customer number or a device-level ID such as the advertising identifier (not linked to you)
