In a post on its Apple Developer site, Apple reminds developers that apps that support account creation must let users initiate deletion of their account within the app starting June 30.
In the note, Apple says developers should keep these requirements in mind when updating their apps:
° The account deletion option should be easy to find in your app.
° If your app offers Sign in with Apple, you’ll need to use the Sign in with Apple REST API to revoke user tokens when deleting an account.
° It’s insufficient to only provide the ability to temporarily disable or deactivate an account. People should be able to delete the account along with their personal data.
° Apps in highly-regulated industries may provide additional customer service flows to confirm and facilitate the account deletion process.
° Follow applicable legal requirements for storing and retaining user account information, and for handling account deletion. This includes complying with local laws in different countries or regions. As always, check with your legal counsel.
