Apple has announced further changes to rules for dating apps in the Netherlands after multiple failures to comply with an Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) order.
Here are the new adjustments...
-----
Following productive conversations with the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), today we’re introducing additional adjustments to Apple’s plan to comply with the regulator’s order pertaining to dating apps on the App Store in the Netherlands:
● Developers of dating apps in the Netherlands can use the StoreKit External Purchase Entitlement, the StoreKit External Purchase Link Entitlement, or both entitlements.
● In accordance with the ACM’s wishes, we’ve made adjustments to the user interface requirements announced this past March for developers who choose to use either or both of the entitlements.
● We’ve adjusted the payment processing provider criteria for developers who wish to use either of the entitlements.
● The 3 percent commission discount also applies to in-app purchases that qualify for a lower commission rate (for example, App Store Small Business Program enrollees or subscription services after one year of paid service — both of which already qualify for a 15% commission).
-----
Apple reiterates that it disagrees with the ACM's order and is appealing it.
