The label has no “Data Used to Track You” section.
No. Gesa Digital Banking's label says the app does not collect any data, so there is nothing to track you with. It never needs to show the “Allow to track?” prompt.
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. Gesa Digital Banking declares none, so it has no reason to show that prompt.
How to stop Gesa Digital Banking from tracking you
- When Gesa Digital Banking 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 Gesa Digital Banking.
- 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 Gesa Digital Banking, look for an analytics or personalised-ads switch in its own settings; it covers data the iOS switch does not.
