ChatGPT & Codex

Using ChatGPT to write the privacy policy, store listing and review notes without a 2.3 rejection

The paperwork around a store submission is writing, and ChatGPT is good at writing. The catch: every sentence becomes a claim that Apple and Google check against the real app. This guide gives you the prompts, the questionnaire mapping and the short list of things you must verify yourself.

From $109 one-time per platform, or let our team do it all from $698.

Feed it facts, not vibes

A privacy policy written from a vague description is a privacy policy about a different app. Start with a facts sheet: which third-party services receive user data, which fields you store, how users log in, how they pay, which push provider the WebViewGold app uses, whether prompts go to OpenAI or Google, whether the web app asks for location or camera. If the code is in a repository, Codex produces this list in minutes and cites the files; if you built in ChatGPT only, write it by hand from your dashboards.

With the facts sheet, ChatGPT writes a policy that matches reality, and the same sheet answers Apple's App Privacy questionnaire and Google's Data safety form consistently. Inconsistency between the three is what reviewers catch.

Prompt 1: the facts sheet (Codex, in the repository)

Paste into Codex
Scan this codebase and write FACTS.md with evidence for each item (file and line): 1) every third-party service that receives user data, with what it receives (database, auth, email, analytics, error tracking, AI providers and exactly what is sent to them, payments, push notifications); 2) every field we store about a user; 3) login methods; 4) payment methods and what is sold; 5) whether we use location, camera, microphone, contacts or photos and why; 6) whether we show ads; 7) data retention and deletion paths; 8) the app's main features in one sentence each. Do not guess. If something is unclear, list it under Open questions.

Prompt 2: the privacy policy

Paste into ChatGPT together with FACTS.md
Write a privacy policy for a mobile app and web app named [APP NAME] by [COMPANY, ADDRESS, EMAIL], based only on the attached FACTS.md. The app is published in the Apple App Store and on Google Play as a native app that loads our web app; push notifications are delivered through [OneSignal / Firebase / Pushwoosh], which receives a device token. Structure: who we are; what data we collect and why (one subsection per category); third parties that process data (name each service and what it receives); legal bases under GDPR for EU users; retention periods; how to delete the account and data (in-app under Settings and via [URL]); children (the app is not directed at children under 13); your rights and contact; last updated date. Plain English, short paragraphs, no marketing language. Do not add any processing that is not in FACTS.md.

Great way of converting your web app to a native app! Fast turn-around, and a great way to get your apps into the app stores without the need to develop a full native app!

From facts to the two questionnaires

Fact from the sheetApple App PrivacyGoogle Data safety
Users sign up with emailContact Info → Email Address, linked to the userPersonal info → Email address, collected, required
Push notifications via OneSignal, Firebase or PushwooshIdentifiers → Device ID; usually not linked to the userDevice or other IDs, collected, shared with the push provider
Analytics (Plausible, GA, PostHog…)Usage Data → Product InteractionApp activity → App interactions; shared if a third party processes it
Chat messages sent to OpenAI or GeminiUser Content → Other User Content, linked to the userMessages → Other in-app messages, shared with the AI provider
Purchases via RevenueCat (in-app purchase)Purchases → Purchase HistoryFinancial info → Purchase history
Crash reportingDiagnostics → Crash DataApp info and performance → Crash logs
Web app asks for locationLocation → Precise or CoarseLocation → Approximate or Precise

Prompt 3: the questionnaire answers

Ask for both forms at once so they agree. Then click through the real forms yourself; the wording changes over time.

Paste into ChatGPT with FACTS.md
Using FACTS.md, prepare my answers for Apple's App Privacy questionnaire in App Store Connect and Google Play's Data safety form. For Apple: list each data type we collect, whether it is linked to the user's identity, and whether it is used for tracking (we do not use ad networks: [yes/no]). For Google: list each data type, whether it is collected or shared, whether collection is optional, the purpose, and confirm encryption in transit and that users can request deletion. Flag any item where the two forms would disagree and explain which answer is correct.

Prompt 4: description, subtitle and keywords

Give it the real feature list and the limits: Apple name 30 characters, subtitle 30, keyword field 100, description 4,000; Google title 30, short description 80, full description 4,000.

Paste into ChatGPT
Write the store listing for [APP NAME], a [one-sentence description] for [audience]. Features that exist today: [list]. Native app features: push notifications for [what], works offline for [what], [Face ID login / share sheet / QR scanner]. Produce: 1) Apple subtitle (max 30 characters); 2) Apple promotional text (max 170 characters); 3) Apple description (first two sentences must stand alone, max 4,000 characters); 4) a comma-separated keyword list of at most 100 characters, no spaces after commas, no duplicates of words in the name or subtitle, no competitor names; 5) Google short description (max 80 characters); 6) Google full description with short paragraphs; 7) release notes for version 1.0 in two sentences. Do not mention other platforms, beta, prices, awards or features that are not in the list. Do not use the words best, number one or revolutionary.

Prompt 5: review notes

Reviewers read the notes first. Keep them factual; the review notes template shows the full structure.

Paste into ChatGPT
Write App Review notes (max 4,000 characters) for [APP NAME]. Include: what the app does in two sentences; demo account (email: [demo@…], password: [password]) and what the reviewer will see after login; where to find the native features (push notifications: when they are sent; offline behavior; Face ID; in-app purchase with a sandbox product); where the privacy policy and account deletion are in the app; a note that the app uses a native wrapper with push notifications, an offline mode and native sharing on top of our web application. Plain language, bullet points, no marketing.

Honesty rules (Apple 2.3 and Google Play policy)

Metadata rejections are the easiest to avoid and the most embarrassing to get.

  • Describe only what the reviewer can use today. "Coming soon" features belong in your roadmap, not in the listing.
  • No "Android" in the iOS listing, no "iPhone" on Google Play, no "beta", "test" or "demo" in the name or description.
  • Screenshots must come from the built app on a device or simulator, not from the website in a browser frame.
  • Do not claim "we collect no data" while push notifications, analytics or crash reporting are enabled in WebViewGold.
  • Keywords: no competitor or brand names you do not own (Apple 5.2.1 and Google impersonation policy).
  • A Data safety form that contradicts the app's network traffic is a Google rejection on its own; the mismatch guide explains how they check.

Verify by hand before pasting anything

  • Open every third party named in the policy in your own dashboards: is it really connected to the production app?
  • Click the account deletion path on a device build: does it delete, sign out and confirm?
  • Count characters in the subtitle, keyword field and short description; ChatGPT miscounts.
  • Check that the demo account in the review notes logs in on a device you have never used before.
  • Read the policy once as a user: company name, address, email and date filled in, no square brackets left.
  • Compare the three artifacts (policy, Apple answers, Google answers) side by side for contradictions.

Frequently asked questions

Is a ChatGPT-written privacy policy legally sufficient?

It is a strong draft that both stores accept when it describes the real app. For regulated data (health, finance, children) or EU-wide products, have a lawyer review it; the prompt above produces the structure a lawyer expects.

Can ChatGPT fill in the App Store Connect forms for me?

No, the forms are clicked by hand in the console. ChatGPT prepares the answers; you transfer them and re-read each question, since the wording changes.

Where should the privacy policy be hosted?

As a route in your web app (/privacy) so it opens inside the WebViewGold app and on the web. Enter that URL in both consoles and link it from the settings screen.

Do I need separate policies for iOS and Android?

No. One policy covering the web app and both native apps is normal; mention the push provider and the stores' payment systems, which are the only platform-specific processors.
