Terms of service is the agreement that sets the rules for using your product: what users may and may not do, your liability limits, and how disputes are handled. For an iOS App, getting it right matters: Apple requires every app on the App Store to link to a privacy policy, and to declare the data it collects in the App Store privacy "nutrition" labels. This free terms of service generator asks a few questions about your iOS App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your iOS App needs a terms of service
Clear terms of service protect you by setting expectations, limiting liability, and giving you grounds to suspend abusive accounts.

What an iOS App terms of service should cover
A good terms of service for an iOS App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- The data types you collect and whether they are linked to the user
- Use of the IDFA and App Tracking Transparency prompts
- Third-party SDKs such as analytics, crash reporting, and ads
- Acceptance of the terms and who may use the product
- Acceptable-use rules and prohibited behavior
- Payment, refund, and cancellation terms if you charge
- Limitation of liability and governing law
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your terms of service entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. Answer the questions above about analytics, payments, AI features, and the regions your users live in, and the document updates to match. Export it as HTML or Markdown, paste it into your iOS App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does my iOS app need a privacy policy to pass App Store review?
Yes. App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1 requires a publicly accessible privacy policy URL in App Store Connect and inside the app. Apps are routinely rejected for a missing or unreachable policy.
Do I need terms of service if I already have a privacy policy?
They serve different jobs. A privacy policy explains data handling; terms of service set the contract for using your product. Most apps benefit from having both.
Can I edit the generated terms of service?
Absolutely. Export the document as Markdown or HTML and adjust the clauses to match how your product actually works.
