Apple has been facing an antitrust complaint in Germany concerning its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature for three years. The Bundeskartellamt has issued a preliminary assessment alleging that ATT imposes stricter rules only on third-party apps. This marks a significant contention, as Apple may be violating competition laws by selectively applying privacy standards. The German authorities are examining whether Apple's actions are in contravention of Section 19a(2) of the German Competition Act and Article 102 TFEU. This situation provides Apple an opportunity to respond to these allegations.
The German antitrust group alleges that Apple's App Tracking Transparency feature discriminates against third-party apps, imposing stricter privacy standards only on them.
Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework is under scrutiny as it may violate antitrust laws by treating its own apps differently than those of competitors.
