Is Your App Compliant? Designing Your Mobile Privacy Policy
Date: March 29, 2013
Presenter: Daniel Rockey
California led the way on Internet privacy when it enacted the California Online Privacy Protection Act (Cal OPPA) in 2004, the first law in the country to require websites to include a privacy policy. California is leading the way once again with mobile applications. California’s Attorney General announced early last year that Cal OPPA applies to mobile applications. In December, the AG launched the first enforcement action against an alleged violator, seeking civil penalties of up to $2,500 for each non-compliant download. Mobile should be a part of every company’s media strategy, but privacy compliance must be an important consideration. The AG and FTC have recently issues guidance to help companies develop effective mobile privacy policies and practices — and avoid becoming the target of an enforcement action.
