If the app’s functionalities require access to user’s contact details resulting in the app owners or developers gaining access to the personal data of persons who have not consent to such processing, it leads to a situation which is highly undesirable under GDPR. Establishing a legal basis for such processing requires details of a specific case in a given app; nevertheless, the owner or developer of the app has 30 days to inform these persons about its identity and details of their access.
even in cases where the app usa business email database doesn’t collect a certain type of data directly, if it is reasonably feasible for you to obtain other data from this certain type of data (e.g. a photo allows obtaining information on ethnicity), then you should also disclose such additional types of data in the form.
Purposes
The ‘Data safety’ form will also ask about the purposes of each type of data which was selected previously as data used by the app. In the table below, we look at the purposes indicated by Google in the context of legal requirements.
App functionality Used for features that are available in the app As long as data is collected and used only for these purposes, there are no legal controversies here. Providing the user with previously advertised features, managing the user’s account and supporting security purposes are seen as legal obligations of the app provider and as a legal contract between the app provider and the user.
The app provider, under GDPR and CCPA, is required to provide a privacy note upon the collection of data at the latest point. This can be done, for instance, by posting a privacy policy in the app and Google Play Console.
