- The benchmark applies one formula across fourteen Apple data types and records weekly label snapshots.
Field notes
The score combines distinct data types across Apple's three label groups, with cross-company tracking receiving the strongest weight. Privacybench reports 14,608 apps tracked, 13,528 scored, and 18,166 weekly snapshots. Its own limitation is explicit: the underlying labels are developer self-declarations and are not verified by Apple.
