Privacy labels in Gmail
One of the most notable new features of iOS 14 at launch were the new privacy rules and features that Apple included in the OS. Functions that are very beneficial for users, but some developers didn't like
And, although these rules, such as privacy labels, were mandatory, there were developers who had not adapted the apps to them. Among them we find Google, which has not updated its apps for a whileAnd, although it was thought to be a ruse to not show the labels, it has updated one of its most used apps.
Google shows privacy labels with all data linked to us in the Gmail app
This is the Gmail email app and, having updated it, it already shows the privacy labels in the App Store. And, like the rest of the apps that already show the labels, in Gmail we can see them from the App Store.
To do this, all we have to do is access the app from the application store and scroll to the bottom. There we will see a small summary of the most relevant data. But, if we click on the "summary", we can see all the data linked to us from the app Gmail
The summary that your shows at the bottom of the App Store
Among them we find the approximate location, usage data and identifiers, in third parties; our purchase history, our contact information and our content, among others in the Data analysis section; as well as our Search history and usage data in many other categories, plus many others.
Although at the moment it seems that only Gmail from Google displays privacy labels, as soon as you update your apps, Google will show the tags in all your apps. What do you think about the amount of data linked to us that Google accesses? Are you surprised that it accesses such a large amount of data or not?
