About the Application Data Privacy Project

The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) Application Developer Responsible Data Use Project (AppPrivacy) primary goal is to provide application developers with the tools and resources they need to implement responsible information collection and use practices that are believed to be trustworthy by consumers and regulators.

The Internet has recently seen an incredible proliferation in the number of applications for mobile devices and online, or “apps,” available to users. Apps have become an integral aspect of how people experience social networks and the mobile Internet. Many of these apps are supported by advertisements, and some collect information from the user to help advertisers display ads that are tailored to the user’s interests. It is important that both users and developers understand how the data is used when the user interacts with the app, and what recommended practices developers should adopt to best protect the privacy and security of the people using their apps.
