California Shot Down in First Effort to Require Privacy Policies for Apps
The State of California's case against Delta Airlines for failing to provide a privacy policy that covers its mobile app, Fly Delta, has been effectively dismissed.
The State of California’s case against Delta Airlines for failing to provide a privacy policy that covers its mobile app, Fly Delta, has been effectively dismissed.
Delta filed a demurrer, the equivalent of a ‘so what?’, and yesterday a judge upheld it.
The suit was the first filed by California Attorney General Kamala Harris, whose determination that the state constitution’s privacy protections required mobile apps to provide privacy policies made the state the first to regulate mobile privacy.
While the result may be a PR defeat for the attorney general’s office, it will likely have a minimal influence on the state’s ability to enforce its mobile privacy requirements.
