The label has no “Data Used to Track You” section.
No. Walking Distance Tracker'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 usage data, 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. Walking Distance Tracker declares none, so it has no reason to show that prompt.
What Walking Distance Tracker collects instead
No tracking does not mean no collection. Walking Distance Tracker's label lists 1 data type, none of it linked to you:
- Usage Data — what you tap, open and view inside the app, plus which ads you have seen (not linked to you)
How to stop Walking Distance Tracker from tracking you
- When Walking Distance Tracker 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 Walking Distance Tracker.
- 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 Walking Distance Tracker, look for an analytics or personalised-ads switch in its own settings; it covers data the iOS switch does not.
