Apple and Google for U.S. politicians to change the data mobile phone



Apple and Google are the U.S. officials on Tuesday complained that its privacy policy for the use of mobile phones, including the impact of the revelation, the iPhone and Android keep tracking data, location to collect . I think consumers have a fundamental right to know what information is collected about them, the Democratic senator from Minnesota, Al Franken told the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on privacy, technology and innovation with the law. I also think they have the right to decide whether this information with anyone and when it leaves the parties.

Frank, chairman of the subcommittee, said, I have serious doubts about these rights in law or practice should be respected, software, Apple chief Guy, Bud Tribble, said the company is committed to protecting your privacy .. Apple does not control the sites, he said. But Apple has never been done before and I will not ever;. He added, however, this statement means that Apple may use and collect data on the exact location, so familiar;. No question Tribble D response after hearing the apparent contradiction. Google's director of public policy in America, said Alan Davidson's Android smartphone platform similar policy. , All data, the situation returns to local servers, Google will be sent anonymously and is not responsible for the person or device, he said.

But Franken questioned claims that Apple and Google are anonymous location data. Asked another witness, investigators Ashkan Soltani, if the position of the timestamp can be used to allow users to follow. Soltani said that was possible and that the credits are given anonymously, not too serious, the senators were charged in the technology sector in the use of location data for commercial purposes - potentially billions of dollars - without the required license of millions of Americans ..

However, they say they are reluctant to control many of the confidentiality rules of development and innovation in space. mobile device, personal data helps companies adapt coupons, classifieds and weather information, among many others. Do not get me wrong. The existence of such a business model is not bad. I want to use Google Maps for free, Franks said. The parliamentarians also expressed concern for mobile applications for data exchange. Frank asked if Google and Apple with the mobile phone shops that developers have written privacy policy to create.

Davidson said that Google does not police downloaded applications on the market, and it is doubtful that the creators of this application is a privacy policy. Davidson, Google's direction is how to deal with such a policy. Tribble said that privacy should be built in applications, since many users do not read privacy policies.

Finally it was found that some members of the Committee is convinced that the practice of law on data protection and industry current enough to protect the right to privacy, to protect consumers. Franken said. We must seriously consider how to solve this problem and we need to solve this problem, at least four hours of privacy on the Internet that the U.S. legislature has proposed during this meeting that the company, which collects data on consumption are available and how state.

But it is too early to say what would be on the bills. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, said he is frustrated that no company wants to take responsibility for the security of customer data to ensure that - in particular those relating to Google's preference for service providers to open and Internet malware, complete;.

I think we really need such restrictions. Working as open as possible, but if it is normal for this task, he said. The White House noted that some applications do not exist or have been sold very little, only because the developers to collect and sell personal information collected on users of the plan. : We have something that our model should be taken. I have not heard of this model here convinces me that the protection of privacy and the Internet, he added.
