App Store Privacy Labels Scraper — privacy nutrition labels, app tracking & data audit

App Store Privacy Labels Scraper exports Apple's App Store privacy nutrition labels for any iOS apps, App Store search results or whole top charts: Data Used to Track You, Data Linked to You, Data Not Linked to You or "Data Not Collected", the developer's privacy policy URL and a 0-100 privacy score. Schedule it to get alerts when an app changes its privacy labels.

Built for app privacy audits, compliance teams, journalists and researchers asking which apps track you, and for developers benchmarking their privacy label against competitors.

What you get for every app

• dataUsedToTrackYou: data types used for tracking across other companies' apps and websites (e.g. Identifiers, Usage Data).
• dataLinkedToYou: data types linked to your identity (Contact Info, Location, Purchases, Health & Fitness, Search History…).
• dataNotLinkedToYou: data collected but not linked to identity.
• dataNotCollected: true when the developer declares no data collection.
• tracksYou, categoryCount, privacyScore (100 = collects nothing; tracking weighs most, then linked data, then anonymous data).
• privacyPolicyUrl, developer, category, rating count, App Store URL, and how the app was found (input, search:vpn, chart:top-free#3).
• Change alerts: with Only new or changed labels the next runs return only apps whose labels changed, with before → after.

Use cases

• Privacy audits: which of the top 100 free Health & Fitness apps track users, and with which data.
• Compliance & procurement: check the App Store privacy label of every app before it is approved for company devices.
• Journalism and research: datasets on apps that track you, by category and country.
• Competitive benchmarking for developers: compare your privacy nutrition label with competitors before an App Store review.
• Change monitoring: get notified when an app starts tracking or adds new data types.

Schedule it, get alerts, use it as an API

• Schedule: in Apify Console open Schedules, pick this Actor and run it daily (or hourly). Every run is compared with the previous one automatically.
• Slack alerts: paste a Slack incoming webhook into Webhook URL and choose Slack message. You get a readable digest at the end of each run.
• Zapier, Make, n8n, your backend: choose JSON webhook format, or call the Actor through the Apify API and read the dataset.
• Google Sheets / Excel: set Output format to Flat and export the dataset as CSV or XLSX, or connect the Google Sheets integration.
• AI agents (MCP): the Actor works as a tool in Apify's MCP server; the output schema is stable and every record carries schemaVersion.
• Run summary: each run stores RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store (saved, charged, requests, warnings).

Pricing

$1 per 1,000 apps (one app in one country). Auditing a full top-100 chart costs $0.10.

FAQ

What are App Store privacy nutrition labels? Since December 2020 Apple requires developers to declare what data their app collects and whether it is used to track users. This Actor exports those declarations.

Is the data verified by Apple? No — labels are self-reported by developers, as shown on the App Store.

What does "Data Used to Track You" mean? Data linked with data from other companies' apps, websites or data brokers for targeted advertising or measurement, or shared with data brokers.

Do labels differ by country? Usually not, but they can; add several countries to compare.

How is the privacy score calculated? 100 minus 8 points per tracking data type, 4 per data type linked to you and 1.5 per data type not linked to you; "Data Not Collected" = 100.

Do I need an API key? No.
