Supplementary notes
According to the source: "Privacy policies of children’s apps were checked for the types of data the apps collect from their users across “Data Used to Track You,” “Data Linked to You, and “Data Not Linked to You” as filled in by the app developers when submitting their app to the Apple App Store. The types of data collected by each app were then cross-referenced with Apple’s App Privacy Details to determine how many of the possible 32 data segments (e.g. Contact Info, Location, Search History) each app collects from its users."
