The label has no “Data Used to Track You” section.
No. Secure Private Web Browser's label says the app does not collect any data, so there is nothing to track you with. It never needs to show the “Allow to track?” prompt.
What “tracking” means on an iPhone
Apple defines tracking as linking data from this app with data from other companies' apps, websites or offline sources for targeted advertising or ad measurement, or sharing it with a data broker. It is narrower than “collecting data”: an app can collect a lot without tracking you, and a small app can track you with a single advertising SDK.
Since iOS 14.5, App Tracking Transparency requires every app to ask before it accesses your device's advertising identifier or otherwise tracks you. The App Store label is where the developer declares which of its data is used that way. Secure Private Web Browser declares none, so it has no reason to show that prompt.
How to stop Secure Private Web Browser from tracking you
- When Secure Private Web Browser shows the tracking prompt, tap Ask App Not to Track.
- Already said yes? Open Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking and switch off the toggle next to Secure Private Web Browser.
- To refuse every app in one go, switch off Allow Apps to Request to Track on the same screen. Apps then cannot ask, and are treated as if you declined.
- For Apple's own ads in the App Store, News and Stocks, see Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising and turn off Personalised Ads.
- Inside Secure Private Web Browser, look for an analytics or personalised-ads switch in its own settings; it covers data the iOS switch does not.
