# TN3182: Adding privacy tracking keys to your privacy manifest Declare the tracking domains you use in your app or third-party SDK in a privacy manifest. ## Overview When you build an app or third-party SDK that contacts domains engaged in tracking, perform these steps in your privacy manifest (`PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy`): 1. Add the `NSPrivacyTracking` key and set its value to `true`. 2. Add the `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` key and set its value to a list of tracking domains. For more information about these keys and the privacy manifest, see [](doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/BundleResources/privacy-manifest-files). This document describes how to add the `NSPrivacyTracking` and `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` keys to your privacy manifest in Xcode. If you work outside of Xcode, review this document to learn about the expected structure of each key. > Note: Before you start adding the keys to your privacy manifest, enable raw keys and values in > Xcode to view the raw keys and hide their human-readable names. Click anywhere in the privacy manifest, > then choose Xcode > Editor > Raw Keys and Values. Repeat the process to disable this feature. ## Add the privacy tracking key The `NSPrivacyTracking` key uses the following format: ```xml NSPrivacyTracking ``` To add the `NSPrivacyTracking` key to your privacy manifest: 1. Select `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` in the Project navigator. 2. Click the Add button (+) beside the `App Privacy Configuration` key in the property list editor. 3. In the pop-up menu that appears, choose `NSPrivacyTracking`. 4. Confirm the value is `Boolean` in the Type column. 5. Select `YES` from the pop-up menu in the Value column. ## Add a tracking domain to the privacy tracking domains key Set the value of the `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` key to a list of tracking domains in your privacy manifest. For more information about tracking domains, see “Configure a tracking domain” in [TN3181: Debugging an invalid privacy manifest](/documentation/Technotes/tn3181-debugging-invalid-privacy-manifest). To add a tracking domain to the `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` key in your privacy manifest: 1. Select `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` in the Project navigator. 2. Find the `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` key in the property list editor. 3. Confirm the value is `Array` in the Type column. 4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` to reveal it. 5. Click the Add button (+) beside `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` to insert a tracking domain such as `mywebsite.example.com`. ## Add the privacy tracking domains key The `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` key uses the following format: ```xml NSPrivacyTrackingDomains mywebsite.example.com ... ``` Each string value in the array identifies an internet domain your app or third-party SDK connects to that engages in tracking. For more information, see [Add a tracking domain to the privacy tracking domains key](/documentation/Technotes/tn3182-adding-privacy-tracking-keys-to-your-privacy-manifest#Add-a-tracking-domain-to-the-privacy-tracking-domains-key). To add the `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` key to your privacy manifest: 1. Select `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` in the Project navigator. 2. Click the Add button (+) beside the `App Privacy Configuration` key in the property list editor. 3. In the pop-up menu that appears, choose `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains`. 4. Confirm the value is `Array` in the Type column. 5. To add a tracking domain to the array, see [Add a tracking domain to the privacy tracking domains key](/documentation/Technotes/tn3182-adding-privacy-tracking-keys-to-your-privacy-manifest#Add-a-tracking-domain-to-the-privacy-tracking-domains-key). The following example declares one tracking domain for an app called `Sample`: **Source code:** ```xml NSPrivacyTracking NSPrivacyTrackingDomains mywebsite.example.com ``` **Property list:**  Repeat step 5 for each additional tracking domain your app or third-party SDK contacts. The example below declares an additional tracking domain for `Sample`: **Source code:** ```xml NSPrivacyTracking NSPrivacyTrackingDomains mywebsite.example.com tracking.subdomain.example.com ``` **Property list:**  ## Revision History - **2024-12-17** First published. ## See Also [TN3181: Debugging an invalid privacy manifest](/documentation/Technotes/tn3181-debugging-invalid-privacy-manifest) Identify common configurations that cause unsuccessful privacy manifest validation with the App Store.
