If your app sends user data to third-party AI APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, etc.) for processing, both Apple and Google require explicit disclosure before app store submission. Apple Guideline 5.1.2(i) states: 'You must clearly disclose where personal data will be shared with third parties, including with third-party AI, and obtain explicit permission before doing so.' Google Play User Data Policy specifically calls out 'third-party AI integrations' and states 'you remain responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy, including limited use, disclosure and consent.' This must be in both the Privacy Policy AND the Terms of Service. Missing this is a hard rejection on both stores. The disclosure must name the providers (e.g., 'Anthropic Claude' and 'Google Gemini'), describe what data is sent, and state the purpose. Apple guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#legal (Section 5.1.2). Google Play: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10144311
