Apple IOS Push Notification Tracking You on the Web. IOS Data Privacy is at Risk. Numerous iOS apps are using background processes triggered by push notifications to collect user data about devices, potentially allowing the creation of fingerprinting profiles used for tracking.
According to mobile researcher Mysk, who discovered this practice, these apps bypass Apple's background app activity restrictions and constitute a privacy risk for iPhone users.
"Apps should not attempt to surreptitiously build a user profile based on collected data and may not attempt, facilitate, or encourage others to identify anonymous users or reconstruct user profiles based on data collected from Apple-provided APIs or any data that you say has been collected in an 'anonymized,' 'aggregated,' or otherwise non-identifiable way," reads a section of Apple App Store review guidelines.
