GETTR app for iOS: The Privacy Policy Link is not working in the App Store

 iOS 14.6 on an iPhone 8

Gettr app for iOS (version 1.0.1)

Date: 07/01/21


Description:

The new Gettr app for iOS is not in compliance with one of the most basic Apple App Store rules.


Apple's App Store Review Guidelines are pretty clear:


Under Section 5.1.1 Data Collection and Storage it states: "All apps must include a link to their privacy policy in the App Store Connect metadata field and within the app in an easily accessible manner."

In the App Store Connect metadata there is a privacy policy link...


However the page it leads to does not display a privacy policy - it looks to be a dead link:



Therefore, the new GETTR app is not in compliance with an app store regulation about accessibility to an app's Privacy Policy from inside of the app store. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Head to the Apple App Store
2. Go the GETTR detail page
3. Scroll down and click on the "privacy policy" link

Result: The "Privacy Policy" link for the GETTR app does not lead to GETTR's privacy policy - it leads to a page at getome.com/privacy that displays nothing 

Expected: The "Privacy Policy" link for the GETTR app in the Apple App Store should work and lead to a privacy policy
