In simple English
PrivacyFlash Pro reads the source code of your Apple phone app. It finds out what data your app collects from users. It uses that information to write a privacy policy for you. It covers major privacy laws like the European GDPR and California rules. You run it on your own computer for free.
What it is
A desktop tool that scans iOS Swift projects and generates compliant privacy documents. It inspects source files and third-party libraries to spot data collection methods.
What it is good for
Solo developers building iOS apps who need a legally sound privacy policy without paying for legal templates.
