On iOS under: Privacy -> Analytics & Improvements

They (a) show what data is being sent e.g. stack traces and (b) provide the privacy policies.

At least on my device I am not seeing a list of apps being sent to Apple.

Your device doesn’t need to send it. They know what apps you’ve downloaded already and on what device. The real question is, does it send when you remove an app? If so, they are tracking your apps you have installed.

If your device offloads apps, they know when you download it again and thus can infer usage.
