According to Fun Corp, an app developer, “hundreds of trillions of user actions and events” are being tracked every day. A writer at the Washington Post found 5,400 trackers took data from his phone in a single week. If users opt out that very first time they get the notification, an app will be barred from accessing their IDFA forever. And Apple expects that apps will not share other data, including phone numbers or emails. And Apple takes a 15 per cent to 30 per cent commission on all app purchases and subscriptions through the app store.
