While online users increasingly rely on the use of mobile applications (apps) for their everyday activities and needs, the processing of personal data through such tools poses significant risks to users’ security and privacy. Such risks stem mainly from the variety of data and sensors held in mobile devices, the use of different types of identifiers and extended possibility of users’ tracking, the complex mobile app ecosystem and limitations of app developers, as well as the extended use of third-party software and services. For these reasons, the implementation of the core data protection principles, as stipulated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), faces serious challenges in mobile apps. This may hinder compliance of mobile app developers and providers with specific rules of GDPR, e.g. with regard to transparency and consent, data protection by design and by default, as well as security of processing. Against this background, the scope of the present document is to provide a meta-study on privacy and data protection in mobile apps by analysing the features of the app development environment that impact privacy and security, as well as defining relevant best-practices, open issues and gaps in the field. To this end, the document explains the basics of the app development lifecycle and takes a look at different depictions of mobile app ecosystems (development versus deployment). While the ecosystem is complex, an app developer centric approach is taken, while also addressing app providers and other actors in the ecosystem (OS providers, device manufactures, market operators, ad libraries, et cetera). Specifically, roles and responsibilities are analysed and aspects of software development are discussed as they can be leveraged as privacy and security action points. A presentation of idealized app lifecycles (data versus development lifecycles) is performed, as well as their potentials for implementing privacy by design. Particular attention is paid to the Agile Secure Development Lifecycle and possible ways of extending it to also cover privacy and data protection requirements. The permission model of apps is used as an example for a more detailed analysis of data protection challenges in the current mobile app development and deployment practices. Moreover, the document focuses on the concept of privacy by design and tries to make it more clear, especially for mobile app developers. Approaches to privacy and data protection by design and by default are presented that help translate the legal requirements into more tangible engineering goals that developers are more comfortable with. In particular, the concepts of data protection goals and privacy design strategies are discussed in general terms, while providing concrete examples from the mobile app development perspective.

In less than ten years touchscreen smartphones and their apps have created an unprecedented technological revolution. Yet they are rife with serious potential for breaches of privacy and security, and a lack of uniform rules makes navigation of the legal landscape extremely difficult. Addressing this unstable regulatory environment, this concise, practical guide for the first time provides a measure of legal certainty. It examines case law and legislation in Europe and the United States to highlight the rights and obligations of all actors involved in the marketing of mobile apps, bring to light essential principles and recommend some viable solutions. Nine experts, all versed in the latest developments in international and national laws and regulations affecting digital mobile technology, examine such key topics as the following: contract law as applied to the sale and use of smartphone apps; intellectual property rights in mobile apps; protection of users; data protection; European Union (EU) medical device legislation and its safety implications for app users; fitness or wellness apps; apps’ collection of personal data; apps as hostile code and malware delivery mechanisms; competition law issues; taxation of mobile apps; liability issues for app developers and distributors; and implications of the EU’s new regulatory framework on online platforms. Because it is difficult for a basic user to understand how vulnerable everyday apps can be, and because every new information technology platform delivers new risks along with its benefits, legal practitioners working in a wide variety of fields will be increasingly called upon to engage with both personal and enterprise security and privacy breach cases arising from the use of mobile apps. This deeply informed practical analysis goes a long way toward ensuring appropriate handling of legal issues which arise in the mobile app context. Every practitioner, government official and software developer will welcome this much-needed volume.

Health and fitness apps collect various personal information including name, email address, age, height, weight, and in some cases, detailed health information. When using these apps, many users trustfully log everything from diet to sleep patterns. However, by sharing such personal information, end-users may make themselves targets to misuse of this information by unknown third parties, such as insurance companies. Despite the important role of informed consent in the creation of health and fitness applications, the intersection of ethics and information sharing is understudied and is an often-ignored topic during the creation of mobile applications. Privacy Concerns Surrounding Personal Information Sharing on Health and Fitness Mobile Apps is a key reference source that provides research on the dangers of sharing personal information on health and wellness apps, as well as how such information can be used by employers, insurance companies, advertisers, and other third parties. While highlighting topics such as data ethics, privacy management, and information sharing, this publication explores the intersection of ethics and privacy using various quantitative, qualitative, and critical analytic approaches. It is ideally designed for policymakers, software developers, mobile app designers, legal specialists, privacy analysts, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and upper-level students.
