## Overview
The Apple Privacy Manifest enhances privacy and transparency for apps on Apple's platforms. As part of Apple's commitment to user privacy and data security, they introduced the "App Privacy Details" section — a privacy label for each app.
The privacy manifest is a property list that records:
* The types of data collected by an app or third-party SDK
* The required reasons APIs an app or third-party SDK uses
For each type of data an app or third-party SDK collects and category of required reasons API it uses, the app or SDK needs to record the reasons in its bundled privacy manifest file.

## React Native UI Kit Privacy Requirements
If you are using the React Native UI Kit, you need to add the following entries to your Privacy Manifest file.
### Dependencies Requiring Privacy Declarations
1. **React Native Framework**
React Native uses several APIs that require privacy declarations. See the React Native community [discussion](https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/discussions/776) for more details.
2. **SPTPersistentCache**
The React Native UI Kit uses a native module (a fork of react-native-video) that has an internal dependency on SPTPersistentCache. This library uses one of the APIs listed by Apple.

## Creating the Privacy Manifest
Open Xcode and choose **File > New > File...**
Scroll down to the **Resource** section, select the **App Privacy** file type, and click **Next**.
Select your app target, then click **Create**.
By default, the file is named `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy`. Do not change this filename.
This creates an empty Privacy Manifest file. Replace the content with the manifest XML provided above.
