App Rejected due to third Party AI Service.

Hi All, We are facing App Rejection from Apple due to this -

Guidelines 5.1.1(i) - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and 5.1.2(i) - Legal - Privacy - Data Use Issue Description

The app appears to share the user’s personal data with a third-party AI service but the app does not clearly explain what data is sent and identify who the data is sent to before sharing the data.

Apps may only use, transmit, or share personal data after they meet all of the following requirements:

  • Disclose what data will be sent
  • Specify who the data is sent to
  • Obtain the user’s permission before sending data
  • Identify in the privacy policy what data the app collects, how it collects that data, all uses of that data, and confirm any third party the app shares data with provides the same or equal protection

Next Steps

If the app sends user data to a third-party AI service, revise the app to explain what data is sent and identify who the data is sent to before sharing personal data with a third-party AI service.

If it does not already, the app’s privacy policy must also identify what data the app collects, how it collects that data, and all uses of that data, including if it is shared with a third-party AI service.

If the app does not send user data to a third-party AI service or does not include a third-party AI service, reply to this rejection to confirm and add this information to the App Review Information section of App Store Connect.

We have updated on privacy policy and ATT as well as Nutrition Labels and we have added a consent screen for explicitly taking the user consent for AI Services. However we are still seeing the rejection.

Has some else faced a similar issue and what are the steps they followed for this.

Also running Into the same issue. Apple is not clear exactly on what needs to be done as I’ve followed the guides and disclosed as I should but still got rejected.
