The current version shipped in July 2025, over a year before our snapshot. Older apps can lag behind iOS privacy features such as limited photo and contact access.

• 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 Hide Photos Calculator vault 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.

1. Q1Hide Photos Calculator vault's privacy label says it uses data to track you.

   True False
   Right.

   Not quite.

   False: there is no Data Used to Track You section on Hide Photos Calculator vault's label.

2. Q2Apple tests every app to confirm its privacy label is accurate.

   True False
   Right.

   Not quite.

   Labels are self-reported by developers. Apple can reject or remove apps that misrepresent practices, but it does not audit each label.

3. Q3An app with a “Data Not Collected” label cannot read any of your photos.

   True False
   Right.

   Not quite.

   It can read photos you give it access to. Processing on your device is not collection; only data sent off the phone counts.

4. Q4Data “Not Linked to You” is never sent off your iPhone.

   True False
   Right.

   Not quite.

   It is collected and sent; the developer says it is de-identified rather than tied to your account or device.

5. Q5Tapping “Ask App Not to Track” can stop an app from working.

   True False
   Right.

   Not quite.

   Apple's rules require apps to work the same whether or not you allow tracking.
