Only with this information none of us can help you.
Have you asked Apple where the problem is?

 

[Mike1970]

What's the problem?
Apple refused your app to be published?

You need to put on the Internet your legal and privacy statements and submit URL's to your appstore account

What was the actual message Apple review sent you? It might be something other than your privacy policy that is causing the issue. I don't know how you expect anyone to be able to help you if you don't even post the rejection message you were sent.

Hello,


Thank you for your efforts to follow our guidelines. There are still some issues that need your attention.


If you have any questions, we are here to help. Reply to this message in App Store Connect and let us know.


Guideline 5.1.2 - Legal - Privacy - Data Use and Sharing

The app privacy information you provided in App Store Connect indicates you collect data in order to track the user, including Advertising Data and Crash Data. However, you do not use App Tracking Transparency to request the user's permission before tracking their activity.


Starting with iOS 14.5, apps on the App Store need to receive the user’s permission through the AppTrackingTransparency framework before collecting data used to track them. This requirement protects the privacy of App Store users.


Next Steps


Here are two ways to resolve this issue:


- If you do not currently track, or decide to stop tracking, update your app privacy information in App Store Connect. You must have the Account Holder or Admin role to update app privacy information.


- If you track users, you must implement App Tracking Transparency and request permission before collecting data used to track. When you resubmit, indicate in the Review Notes where the permission request is located.


Resources


- Tracking is linking data collected from your app with third-party data for advertising purposes, or sharing the collected data with a data broker. Learn more about tracking.

- See Frequently Asked Questions about the requirements for apps that track users.

- Learn more about designing appropriate permission requests.

So it seems the issue is you're showing ads, but you're not asking the user whether or not you can show personalized ads. You need to implement Ad Tracking Transparency so that AdMob knows whether to use the IDFA (which is the identifier it uses to track a user's history) to show personalized ads, or whether to show non-personalized ads. There's some info from AdMob about it here.

As far as implementing it in B4i, this thread should get you there.
