Apple removes apps that share your location data with third parties

Apple seems to have started scratching off several apps one by one from its App Store as they are said to share your location data with third-party companies. The firm is taking them off from the list as they violate the company policies by not asking for your consent before sharing the data. These breaches, as mentioned by 9to5Mac fall in sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of Apple’s App Store guidelines. These sections say that apps shouldn’t share “user location data to third parties without explicit consent from the user [or] for unapproved purposes.”
