Do apps need their own privacy policy? 🤔
Yes, Sir!
The regulations of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and data protection law require that providers inform their users of the following
“…at the beginning of the usage process about the type, scope and purpose of the data collection in a generally understandable form.”
Just like websites, apps (almost always) process personal data and are therefore clearly subject to this rule. Without exception, these apps need a privacy policy.
Important: Not just the policy of the possibly associated website but a seperate policy for the app!
This is because the usual elements there, such as cookies, contact forms, Google Analytics, Facebook plug-ins, or similar, are not relevant to the privacy of the apps.
