Laurie Buckhout For Congress app for iOS: Privacy Policy Link In App Store Working Does Not Lead to a Privacy Policy

 iOS 17.6.1

Laurie Buckhout for Congress app for iOS (production version)

Date: 09/03/2024

Description:

Today I took a look at an app called Laurie Buckhout for Congress that is available to download from the Apple App Store. This app does not have a valid (working) link to a Privacy Policy in either the app store listing, or from inside of the app.

According to Apple App Store rules, "all apps must include a link to their privacy policy in the App Store Connect metadata field and within the app in an accessible manner. 

The Apple App Store rules regarding access to privacy policies are very clear. 

Here's what the app store listing looks like:

This is the Apple App Store listing for Laurie Buckhout for Congress. Scroll down to the Privacy Policy link...

Click on the "developer's privacy policy" link...

This is obviously not a valid privacy policy.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Head to the Laurie Buckhout for Congress app for iOS Apple App Store page

2. Scroll down to the "developer's privacy policy" and "privacy policy" links

Result: The "developer's privacy policy" and "privacy policy" links on the Laurie Buckhout for Congress Apple App Store listing page do not lead to valid privacy policies 

Expected: There needs to be working privacy policy links in the Laurie Buckhout for Congress Apple App Store listing
