Privacy Landscape
Privacy regulations are expanding globally. Users are more privacy-conscious. Building privacy-first apps is both legal requirement and competitive advantage.
GDPR Requirements
GDPR applies to EU users regardless of your location. Key requirements: lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, breach notification, DPO appointment for some companies.
CCPA Compliance
California's law requires disclosure of data practices, opt-out rights for data sales, and non-discrimination for privacy choices.
App Store Privacy
Apple's App Tracking Transparency requires user consent for cross-app tracking. Google Play requires privacy policy disclosure. Both have nutrition label requirements.
Consent Management
Implement proper consent flows before collecting data. Record consent. Allow users to change preferences. Make opting out as easy as opting in.
Data Minimization
Collect only what you need. Delete data when no longer necessary. Anonymize where possible. Regular data audits help maintain compliance.
Privacy Policy
Write clear, understandable privacy policies. Explain what data you collect and why. Keep policies updated as practices change.
