BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Apple on Wednesday welcomed the decision of the French competition authority to reject a request from French online advertising cottars to block the app’s advertising feature on iPhones.
“We are grateful to the French Competition Authority for recognizing that the Transparency Tracking App in iOS 14 is for the benefit of French iOS users,” Apple said in a statement.
“ATT provides a powerful user privacy advantage by requiring developers to ask users for permission before sharing their data with other companies for advertising purposes, or with data brokers.
“We strongly believe that they own consumer data, and should be in control of when that data is shared, and by whom.”
