Privacy Policy Generator for iOS Apps (App Store 5.1.1)
Quick answer: Apple's Guideline 5.1.1 requires every app to link to a privacy policy — in App Store Connect and inside the app. PolicyForge generates that policy and hosts it at a permanent public URL you can paste straight into the "Privacy Policy URL" field. If your app has accounts, it also includes the in-app account-deletion clause Apple now requires.

What Apple requires (Guideline 5.1.1)
- A link to your privacy policy in your App Store Connect metadata.
- A link to the same policy accessible within the app.
- Clear disclosure of what data you collect, how it's used, and with whom it's shared — consistent with your App Privacy "nutrition label".
- If users can create an account, the ability to initiate account deletion from inside the app.
How PolicyForge meets it
- Select Mobile app and tick Apple App Store when generating.
- List the data you collect — the policy mirrors the categories you declare in your App Privacy label.
- If you enable accounts, an account-deletion section is added automatically.
- You receive a permanent hosted URL — paste it into App Store Connect and link it in your app's settings.
Tips to avoid rejection
- Make sure the in-app link actually opens the policy (not a 404).
- Keep your declared data collection consistent between the policy and the App Privacy label.
- Use the hosted URL rather than a PDF — reviewers want a live web page.
FAQ
- Does a simple app with no accounts still need a policy?
- Yes — 5.1.1 applies to all apps, even if you collect nothing. Generate one and link it.
- Can I use the free version for App Store submission?
- Yes. The free hosted URL is publicly accessible and works for review. Upgrading just removes the footer badge and unlocks downloads.
- Is this legal advice?
- No, it's an informational template — see our disclaimer.
