Apple recently announced some features to make device fingerprinting more difficult on their devices. The use of certain APIs that facilitate device fingerprinting will require justification. This technique is frequently used to prevent fraud and abuse in applications. For example, a device used to create and access multiple fake accounts to engage in fraudulent activities should be able to be identified and blocked. In the documentation on 'User privacy and data use', use cases related to fraud detection are not considered 'tracking' and are allowed. However it is not clear wether or not what applies to tracking can also be applied to fingerprinting. According to Apple's policies, is it possible to use device fingerprinting for fraud detection purposes?
