When Apple In-App Purchases Triggers Obligations
Apple In-App Purchases activates privacy obligations the moment you integrate the StoreKit framework into your iOS app. The system immediately begins collecting purchase history, subscription status, and Apple ID identifiers — even before a user completes a transaction.
### Data Flow Start Point
Apple processes payments on your behalf and returns transaction receipts to your backend. You receive persistent transaction IDs and subscription renewal dates. This makes Apple a data processor under GDPR Article 28 and a service provider under CCPA Section 1798.140(w). You remain the controller/business responsible for lawfulness.
