The report found that many app developers are now responding to the increased pressure from U.S. regulators on this issue, and have now introduced privacy policies for their applications as well as new policies surrounding the use of customers' private data.Specifically, the reportshows that the percentage of free apps with a privacy policy doubled on the iOS App Store since the last report in September 2011, going from 40% to 84%. The percentage of paid apps with privacy policies on iOS increased by 4%, from 60% to 64%.
