A new study has concluded that while mobile health app developers are developing better privacy practices, these developers vary widely in how they share those policies with consumers. The research, part of a program launched in 2011 by the Future of Privacy Forum, concludes that while mHealth app makers have improved their practices, too many are still not as clear as they could be with users as to how they handle private health information.
This year’s FPF Mobile App Study notes that mHealth players are working to make privacy policies available to users before purchase or download, by posting links on the app listing page.
