Google hasn't added the data tags yet

The arrival of iOS 14.3 and the same version of iPadOS, marked the arrival, among other novelties, of Apple's new privacy regulations. These rules, mandatory for apps and developers, focus on user protection by allowing to know the data that apps collect from us and to authorize or not our trace.

Since Apple announced them, and until they arrived, they were highly criticized by some companies. But, since they were mandatory, they only had to abide by them and add the data labels if they updated the apps after the release of iOS 14.3.

Google hasn't updated its apps since before the release of iOS 14.3 and the arrival of privacy regulations

And in application updates is where Google comes into play. Apparently, since the release of iOS 14.3 and the new privacy rules were made mandatory, Google has not updated all its apps.

As indicated by certain media, that Google has done has not been a coincidence. It seems, that this is something deliberate to delay, as much as possible, that the data that your applications access and compile is known. This is due precisely to the amount of data that its apps are "rumored" to access.

Facebook reluctantly added data tags

Despite all this, Google has already made a statement about the data labels of the App StoreIn it they have made it clear that either this week or next week, at the latest, they will update their apps and they will include the labels and privacy data of the App Store

What do you think of this news? It is, to say the least, curious that a company like Google whose access to its users' data is known, has not yet updated its apps since iOS 14.3 was released in the middle of December.
