The summary of each app's privacy practices is easier to see at a glance using the App Store Labels: https://www.apple.com/privacy/labels/

In this case, you're referring to "Data Linked to You". "Data Linked to You" is based on the account you used to sign in to the News app + your activity within the news app - to create suggestions within the News app.

This does not allow Apple to track you from the News app e.g. access the IDFA of the device, sharing it with third parties or other apps.

It's made clear from the policy which I took the liberty to quote here that Apple News tracks your interests and uses it to personalize ads not only inside the same app but also Apple's App Store. Same policy states that whether you are logged in on the app or not, you will still receive ads.

They claim they do not share this data with other third parties but they sure as hell use it for their own advertising ecosystem.
