Apple updated its App Store Review Guidelines on November 14, 2025, introducing stricter requirements for apps using third-party AI. As reported by AIBase, the new rule (section 5.1.2(i)) now mandates that developers must explicitly disclose to users exactly which third-party AI models (e.g., cloud LLMs) their personal data is being sent to. Furthermore, developers must obtain separate, explicit user consent for this data transfer. Violations risk app removal. This move tightens Apples control over data privacy in the generative AI era.
