Mobile App Developers Getting Privacy Savvy, per Study

Report released by D.C. think tank day before government meeting

Under mounting pressure from regulators and the Obama administration, mobile app developers are becoming more privacy savvy. In fact, the vast majority, 61.3 percent, have privacy policies that detail what personal data is collected and how it is used, according to a study released Wednesday from the Future of Privacy Forum, a Washington, D.C., think tank.

As more free, ad-supported apps enter the market, more app developers are turning to mobile ad networks to monetize their products.
