Apple will require all apps to have a privacy policy as of October 3

Techcrunch -------- Apple is cracking down on apps that don’t communicate to users how their personal data is used, secured or shared.

Though the app makers themselves would be ultimately responsible for their customers’ data, Apple, as the platform where those apps are hosted, has some responsibility here, too.
