What Guideline 5.1.1(v) actually says
Starting June 30, 2022, Apple's App Review Guideline 5.1.1(v) requires that any iOS app supporting account creation must also support account deletion — initiated from within the app. Apple's developer guidance emphasizes that the deletion option must be easy to find, must delete the actual account (not just deactivate it), and apps that "make it unnecessarily difficult" will fail review.
App Store Connect also has a separate optional field — User Privacy Choices URL — for a public web page that documents the deletion process. App Review uses it as a reference, and search engines surface it for users who can't access your app.
What you get
Multi-method deletion documentation
Capture which methods you support: in-app, email request, or web form. Each renders with its own structured section so App Review and users can see exactly what to do.
Step-by-step deletion walkthrough
Up to 10 numbered steps for in-app deletion (Settings → Account → Delete Account → ...). Reduces support load when users get stuck.
Deletion timeline + retention disclosure
Tell users how long deletion takes and what data you're legally required to retain (transaction records for tax compliance, abuse logs, etc.). App Review flags vague answers here.
Lives next to your privacy policy
Deletion page at /delete, privacy policy at /privacy, support page at /support — same domain, same look. Users get a coherent compliance experience.

Data deletion questions
What is App Store Guideline 5.1.1(v)?
Apple's App Review Guideline 5.1.1(v) requires that any iOS app supporting account creation must also support account deletion — initiated from within the app — starting June 30, 2022. Apps must offer to delete the entire account record along with associated personal data; deactivation alone is not sufficient.
Do I need both in-app deletion AND a deletion URL?
Yes — Apple requires the in-app deletion path. The deletion URL (App Store Connect's User Privacy Choices URL field) is technically optional but strongly recommended. It gives App Review a public reference for your deletion process and makes it discoverable for users who can't (or don't want to) reinstall your app to delete their account.
What's the difference between Privacy Policy URL and User Privacy Choices URL?
Privacy Policy URL points to your full data-handling policy. User Privacy Choices URL is the deletion-specific page — it walks users through how to delete their account and data. They serve different purposes; App Store Connect has separate fields for each.
What about Sign in with Apple users?
Apps that offer Sign in with Apple must also call Apple's REST API to revoke the user's auth token when they delete their account. The deletion page itself is just informational; your app's deletion handler does the token revocation.
