Does SecureEMAIL by Pfortner Track You?

From the App Store privacy label · Pfortner Pty Ltd · checked November 2026

Data used to track you
No
No tracking declared

The label has no “Data Used to Track You” section.

Short answer

No. SecureEMAIL by Pfortner's label has no “Data Used to Track You” section, so the developer states it does not link your data with other companies' data for advertising or sell it to data brokers. It does collect user content, contact info and diagnostics, of which user content and contact info are linked to you.

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. SecureEMAIL by Pfortner declares none, so it has no reason to show that prompt.

What SecureEMAIL by Pfortner collects instead

No tracking does not mean no collection. SecureEMAIL by Pfortner's label lists 3 data types, and user content and contact info are linked to your identity:

  • User Content — messages, photos, videos, audio recordings, documents and support chats you create or upload (linked to you)
  • Contact Info — your name, email address, phone number or postal address (linked to you)
  • Diagnostics — crash logs, launch times, hang rates and energy use (not linked to you)

How to stop SecureEMAIL by Pfortner from tracking you

  1. When SecureEMAIL by Pfortner shows the tracking prompt, tap Ask App Not to Track.
  2. Already said yes? Open Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking and switch off the toggle next to SecureEMAIL by Pfortner.
  3. 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.
  4. For Apple's own ads in the App Store, News and Stocks, see Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising and turn off Personalised Ads.
  5. Inside SecureEMAIL by Pfortner, look for an analytics or personalised-ads switch in its own settings; it covers data the iOS switch does not.

FAQ

How do I stop SecureEMAIL by Pfortner from tracking me?
Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Switch off Allow Apps to Request to Track to refuse every app at once, or switch off the toggle next to this app. When you decline, the app cannot access your device's advertising identifier.
Will SecureEMAIL by Pfortner still work if I decline tracking?
Yes. Apple's App Store rules do not allow apps to withhold features or block you because you declined tracking.
What is the difference between tracking and data linked to me?
Linked data is tied to your identity by SecureEMAIL by Pfortner's developer itself. Tracking goes further: your data is combined with data from other companies' apps and websites for advertising, or passed to data brokers.
Does declining tracking stop all data collection?
No. It stops tracking as Apple defines it. The app can still collect the other data on its label for its own analytics, features and accounts.
Can apps track me without asking?
They are not allowed to. Fingerprinting your device or using other identifiers to get around the prompt breaks App Store rules. If a label declares no tracking but the app asks for permission to track, that is a mismatch worth reporting.
