The French Commission Nationale Informatique & Libertés (CNIL) has found Apple in violation of the Data Protection Act and levied an €8 million fine over personalized ads in App Store on iOS 14.6.
iOS 14.5 introduced App Tracking Transparency (ATT) which mandates all developers including Apple to seek users’ permission to track their online activity across third-party apps and websites. The feature is designed to prevent invasive tracking and preserve users’ privacy.
