Privacy practices for developing mobile applications (apps)
Privacy practices, and all things mobile, are both hot topics these days. This is in part because mobile devices and apps are fun, cool, provide value, and are on the rise. They are used by professionals of all types, and people of most any age, including our youth. This however feeds the assumption that technology in general, including mobile devices and apps, is threatening the privacy rights of individuals.
When a privacy policy is not enough!
Does your organization have an IT risk management program in place that draws upon various stakeholders to identify and prioritize privacy risks and related mitigations? Does your IT risk management program maintain appropriate records and provisions for access to information and privacy? And, have you implemented a privacy policy, only to find out that during internal audits there was a lack of compliance?
