FNB Banking App collects 3 data types tied to your identity but declares no tracking.
Did FNB Banking App ask for something?
Pick the permission prompt you saw. We compare it with what FNB Banking App's developer declared.
FNB Banking App lists Location on its label, linked to you. Choose While Using and turn off Precise Location if the feature works without it.
User Content is not on FNB Banking App's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.
FNB Banking App lists Contacts on its label, linked to you. Limited Access shares selected contacts instead of your whole address book.
FNB Banking App declares no tracking, so a tracking prompt would contradict its label. Decline it, and consider reporting the mismatch to Apple.
Health & Fitness is not on FNB Banking App's label. That can be fine: data used only on your iPhone does not have to be declared. If the data would need to leave the phone for the feature to work, ask why it is missing.
A permission is what the app can reach on your iPhone; the label is what the developer says leaves it. They answer different questions.

What FNB Banking App's label means for you
FNB Banking App's label has 3 types under “Data Linked to You”. A data type can appear in more than one section when it is used for different purposes — for example, identifiers used for both analytics and advertising.
FNB Banking App declares no tracking, which means the developer says it does not combine your data with other companies' data for advertising or sell it to data brokers. The data linked to you — sensitive info, location and contacts — is still tied to your identity, typically through an account, and is covered by the developer's privacy policy and retention rules.
The items that deserve the most attention are sensitive info, location and contacts. These are the categories data-protection laws treat as special. Few apps need them.
Banking apps must collect identity and financial data to work; that is expected. Tracking declarations and third-party advertising SDKs are what to compare. Turn on the app's own biometric login and transaction alerts, and download banking apps only from the bank's own developer account.
Among the 196 banking apps in our snapshot with a label, 17% declare tracking, 91% collect data linked to you and 3% say they collect nothing. FNB Banking App lists 3 data types, fewer than the average of 6.6 for this group.
Finance apps need identity and financial data to function. Expect Contact Info and Financial Info; compare apps on tracking and third-party advertising instead.

Lock FNB Banking App behind Face ID
- Find FNB Banking App on your Home Screen or in App Library.
- Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
- Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
- Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. FNB Banking App now asks for authentication every time it opens.
The lock is an iPhone feature, so it works whether or not FNB Banking App has a passcode of its own. It does not change what the app sends to its developer.

What the label cannot tell you
- A label is self-reported. Apple publishes the developer's answers and can reject apps that misrepresent them, but it does not independently verify what FNB Banking App sends.
- It does not say where data is stored, how long it is kept, whether it is encrypted, or which companies receive it. The privacy policy covers those points.
- Optional data counts: if a feature lets you add something (a profile photo, a phone number), the type is listed even if you never use the feature.
- Data handled only on your iPhone is not 'collected', so a no-collection label is compatible with an app that reads your files locally.
- Third-party sign-in, payment processors and SDKs are supposed to be included, but a label can lag behind a new version.
The question to ask FNB Banking App's developer: Is this app published by my bank's verified developer account?
