Rogue Credit Union app for iOS: The "Developer's Privacy Policy" and "Privacy Policy" Links Open to a Download Message

 iOS 18.3.2

Rogue Credit Union app for iOS (version 2025.2.2.3)

04/05/2025

Description:

Here's an oddity that I haven't seen before! An app called Rogue Credit Union (for a credit union in Oregon) has the typical problem with non-working "developer's privacy policy" and "privacy policy" links listed on the Apple App Store detail page for the app.

The odd thing that on an iPhone selecting the privacy policy link actually prompts a download dialog. This is the message that is displayed the user after being whisked from the Apple App Store to: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rogue-credit-union/id1382896850



Clicking "Download" does nothing and the privacy policy is not available to the end user. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. On an iPhone, head to the Apple App Store detail page for Rogue Credit Union 

2. Scroll down and select either "privacy policy" or "developer's privacy policy"

Result: Selecting either the "privacy policy" or "developer's privacy policy" links from the Apple App Store listing for the Rogue Credit Union app result in the user being take to a non-working page that displays a download dialog 

Expected: User should not be presented with a download dialog from a link in the Apple App Store. User should be taken to a valid and readable privacy policy 


From the Rogue Credit Union detail page in the Apple App Store, scroll down to "developer's privacy policy" or "privacy policy" - select either of these links...


User is left stranded on this page, with a non-working "Download" option.
