Polish antitrust watchdog investigates Apple over privacy policy

Poland’s anti-monopoly office UOKiK is investigating whether Apple is restricting competition in the mobile advertising market through its privacy policy, it said on Tuesday.

The regulator suspects that the tech giant’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, introduced in iOS 14.5 and later versions, could limit third-party apps’ ability to collect user data for personalised ads while favouring Apple’s own advertising service.
