Apple's New App Store Rules Take Aim at Personal Data Sharing With AI

From CNET: Apple updated its App Review Guidelines page on Thursday, introducing changes to the handling of personal data sharing and the requirements that must be met before doing so. Noncompliant apps could be removed from the App Store.

The updated language in the rules calls out that personal data shared with third parties must be both clearly disclosed and only with the explicit permission of the user.
