The German Data Protection Authorities have published guidance for
mobile apps due to app developers’ and application providers’ perceived
lack of privacy knowledge, as demonstrated by their product and
services.
The guidelines comment on the legal and technical
framework, in particular the German Telecommunications Act, but also the
Federal Data Protection Act.
"With the help of this guide, it
should now be possible for all app developers and app providers to
create apps in compliance with the data protection regulations," said
Thomas Kranig, President of the Bavarian Data Protection Commission for
the Private Sector, which took the initiative to draw up the guidelines.
The
DPAs say that app developers should apply Privacy by Design and Privacy
by Default when developing new products. They state that the DPAs
regard individuals’ IP addresses as personal data. The guidance applies
to online apps for smartphones and tablets.
