+Privacy manifests
+-----------------
+
+In April 2025, Apple introduced a requirement for `certain third-party
+libraries to provide a Privacy Manifest
+<https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements>`__.
+As a result, if you have a binary module that uses one of the affected
+libraries, you must provide an ``.xcprivacy`` file for that library.
+OpenSSL is one library affected by this requirement, but there are others.
+
+If you produce a binary module named ``mymodule.so``, and use you the Xcode
+build script described in step 7 above, you can place a ``mymodule.xcprivacy``
+file next to ``mymodule.so``, and the privacy manifest will be installed into
+the required location when the binary module is converted into a framework.
