Appfail or appwin? Towards consumer rights and privacy in mobile apps.
summary
FTC and regulator work documents enforcement and measurements: FTC wins settlements returning 32 million dollars to consumers and cites apps sharing health and device identifiers with 76 third parties; a Norwegian study of 20 apps (plus Sintef traffic captures) finds health/fitness apps fail to give advance notice, push wide perpetual licenses, and continuously leak location and other data even when idle; app stores revise permissions (Android Marshmallow), tighten billing rules and require conspicuous privacy policies and developer contact information.
