Dear Developer,
We are writing to notify you that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has identified your app as in violation of the Regulation on Personal Information in Mobile Apps. If your app is not compliant by April 20, 2026, MIIT will find your app to be illegal in China, and demand that Apple remove it from the China App Store. The App Review Guidelines require apps to comply with all legal requirements in any location where they are offered.
- Legal
Apps must comply with all legal requirements in any location where you make them available (if you’re not sure, check with a lawyer). We know this stuff is complicated, but it is your responsibility to understand and make sure your app conforms with all local laws, not just the guidelines below. And of course, apps that solicit, promote, or encourage criminal or clearly reckless behavior will be rejected.
We ask that you refer to the directions included in the document attached to this message.
If you have any questions, we advise you to get in touch with MIIT within 24 hours of this notice by submitting your feedback via https://app.caict.ac.cn/. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Best regards,
