Google is slowly introducing a new “Sécurité des données” section to its Android app store, le Play Store. Dans cette section, software developers should list what kind of user data they collect.
Data Safety will be a great source of information to help users decide whether or not to trust specific Android apps. De plus, it is interesting that developers should indicate what data they collect and what information they share with third parties.
Another feature of Data Safety is of interest: for each application, the developer will report on the protective mechanisms he used when creating the software. En outre, best practices for protecting mobile devices like the MASVS standard will be considered.
