GDPR regulation,\nenforced in May 2018, has heavily affected the way online businesses process\ntheir users\u2019 data. The law applies to all organizations that operate in Europe\nor have users among EU citizens. One of the principal directives of GDPR is to\nallow users to be in control of their personal data collection initiated by web\nand mobile services. If you want to implement a GDPR compliant mobile app<\/a>, you should\nincorporate the following guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gather as minimum personal data as possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your app should\nsave as little of the users\u2019 personal details as possible. While this won\u2019t\nwork for some apps, it\u2019s better to collect only essential amount of data\nrequired for your app to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide data encryption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to protect\nusers\u2019 personal information, use strong encryption algorithms. One of the most\nwidespread encryption methods is hashing. This will prevent any form of data\nexposure if there is a breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use single sign-in protocols <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide your users\nwith an option to register in your app via their other accounts. Acquiring\ntheir authentication ID is more than enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure external communications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use HTTPS or SSL\nfor your website to encrypt  personal\ninformation even of your app doesn\u2019t require an authentication. Otherwise\ncollected data will be vulnerable to exposure. Ensure that SSL certificate is\nproperly deployed and securing all connections from your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destroy cookies after user\u2019s logout<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not force\ncookies on users of your app: allow people to choose whether or not to accept\nthem. Moreover all sessions and cookies must expire\/be erased after the user\nhas logged out of your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask for users\u2019 consent for tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure it\u2019s up\nto users to allow you to track their Internet activity for the sake of business\nintelligence. Clearly explain to them how long you will store their search\nhistory and offer option to stop the tracking anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure logs encryption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store logs with\nuser information in a safe place and encrypt them with reliable algorithms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your terms and conditions are clear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to GDPR,\npage\/screen with terms and conditions needs to pop up during onboarding and be\naccessible within an app onwards. Users should be able to use your app once\nthey agree to the terms and conditions. Each time the terms are changed, make\nan update and again ask for user’s consent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notify users about data breaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By one of the GDPR\ndirectives you should inform users about data breaches in a timely manner. Adjust your data breach policy accordingly\nand define steps you will follow if personal data of your users leaks into the\nInternet \/ gets exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell users about who you share their data with<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use\nthird-party services, such as advertising providers, analytics or push\nnotifications services, to collect and process user data, your should mention\nit in the terms and conditions. Make sure that your partners are also GDPR\ncompliant and don\u2019t have privacy issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Respect\nusers\u2019 right to be forgotten<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case users want\nto stop using your service, you should satisfy their request \/ to cope with\ntheir wish. Delete user account and all related data when they cancel your\nservice. Moreover you should also grant the data erasion whenever user asks for\nit. Make sure to inform the third-party affiliates if they need to delete user\ninformation from their servers as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
