# iOS > App Privacy details configuration

Source: https://help-display-sdk.equativ.com/ios/appprivacydetails.html

Apple now requires you to disclose user data that your app is collecting, and the purpose of this collection.
You will need to provide these information when submitting a new app or and app update starting _December 8th, 2020_.

Since the SDK collects some user data, **you MUST declare in addition to the data collected by your app!**

You can retrieve the data collected by the SDK directly using the [_Xcode Privacy Report_](https://help-display-sdk.equativ.com/ios/appprivacydetails.html#privacy-report) or manually
by reading the [documentation below](https://help-display-sdk.equativ.com/ios/appprivacydetails.html#data-usage).

## Xcode Privacy Report

Starting with _Xcode 15_, it is possible to generate a _privacy report_ of your app. This privacy report can be useful to
fill the privacy form in _iTunes Connect_ when submitting your app.

To generate a _privacy report_, _build & archive_ your app, then right click the newly created build and choose _Generate Privacy Report_.

The _privacy report_ will automatically includes collected data & usage purposes of the **Equativ Display SDK** if you
are using the SDK version **7.23.0** or above.
