Once again, researchers caught a data broker tied to US national security harvesting extensive personal information including precise location via weather apps, QR readers, speed-trap detectors and Muslim prayer apps installed on >60m Android smartphones: wsj.com/articles/apps-with-h…

#Android 13 #privacy will be going one step further than Android 12 with an SDK Runtime, which will control data access rights to third-party SDKs. Android Ad publishers should note FLEDGE for Android. lnkd.in/eVDPKQU8
Privacy-preserving #android APIs are on the way. These APIs will enable more private ads personalisation and measurement. #google #privacy
More and more ad vendors are using Universal IDs to replace the Ad ID. These IDs might be an email address or phone number. These IDs are rising in prominence and are beginning to be considered a necessity. We all know why too. #android #GooglePlay
Want to review your #android app first party code? We leave it up to publishers and developers to check their first party code. You know your code best. #googleplaystore compliance is coming...
#mhealth mobile apps (specifically the activity tracking segment) = collecting user, network and device data = fusing this data to create challenges and badge rewards and targeted advertising = gamification. Note, there is no such thing as an anonymous user. #android #ios
Google Play Data safety form - export to CSV? Why not use a structured format like JSON, YAML or TOML? #Google #androiddev #android
#Android mobile game developers - lnkd.in/eM7txzR You will need to use an independent tool to validate the data your Android games collect. Our tool will help you comply with the new safety section. #privacy #playstore
ASAnalyzer - The 'AS' = Android S - timing is everything. Thank you #Android12
Google's Google Play safety section policy will be available for Android devs in early Q3. Q4, devs will have to start declaring the data they collect, stored and how the data is used. Ready and waiting - asanalyzer.co.uk/learn-more/…
Google's I/O 2021 announcement last week with regards the soon to launch #Google Play SDK Console, has us very excited. More to follow. lnkd.in/dGvjpGp #Android12

As a mobile game publisher, wouldn’t it be useful to quickly understand what data you and your partners are not collecting but should be as well as what data you didn’t know was being collected and why? #mobilegamedev #mobilegames #mobilegamedevelopment #android #iosgames
Are you publishing mobile games in China? You can now use ASAnalyzer to quickly check China-specific SDKs for what data is collected and why. We know checking the documentation and code is time consuming. Let ASAnalyzer do this for you. #mobilegaming #mobilegames

#Apple are using the same URL to SDK identification we use in our #iOS agent as part of their whole "what SDKs are in this app" thing. They would have seen the baseline back in 2019 when we engaged their Arcade team #privacy
Two very popular MOBA mobile games downloaded from Google Play. Quick and easy to see what SDKs and respective data collection has been added or removed in different versions of the same games. #android #mobilegames #mobilegamedevelopment #mobilegamedev #gaming
What if you could automatically check third-party SDKs and APIs, including open source from say GitHub, to see what data is collected and why just prior to publishing to Google Play? #android #ios #mobilegaming #mobilegamedev #mobilegames
#Privacy Labels 🏷 are coming to #Android. 😜 This is great news but Google will have to make sure that the self reporting (if this is the path they take) is done with a high degree of accuracy. #Apple the same. No point in having apps that are transparent vs those that are not.
