Papel principal en la protección de la intimidad
Editores de aplicaciones
Garantizar el cumplimiento y la transparencia en la recogida y uso de datos
- Desarrolladores independientes, Facebook, WhatsApp Implantar funciones de privacidad acordes con los principios del GDPR
- Desarrolladores móviles que utilizan SDK para iOS y Android Proveedores de SDK
- Proporcionar bibliotecas seguras con capacidad de consentimiento previo Google Analytics, Facebook Audience Network
- Proveedores de SO Controlar los permisos técnicos de acceso a los datos de los usuarios
- Apple iOS, Google Android, Samsung One UI Tiendas de aplicaciones
| Partes interesadas | Google Play, Apple App Store, Amazon Appstore | Ejemplos |
|---|---|---|
| Las directrices dan prioridad a la información transparente y accesible al usuario sobre cómo se recogen, procesan y comparten los datos personales. Las aplicaciones deben ofrecer explicaciones claras en el momento de solicitar permisos, explicando por qué es necesario acceder a determinadas funciones. | Claridad: | Evite el lenguaje ambiguo para mejorar la comprensión. |
| Desarrolladores | Garantizar que la información sobre privacidad esté disponible en todas las fases de uso pertinentes. | Horario: |
| Presentar información cuando los usuarios están a punto de conceder permisos. | Relevancia: | Solicite sólo los permisos necesarios para minimizar la exposición al riesgo. |
| Control: | Facilitar la retirada del consentimiento a medida que evolucionan las preferencias de los usuarios. | Principio |
| Estrategia de aplicación | Claridad | Utilizar un lenguaje sencillo en los diálogos de autorización y las políticas de privacidad |
Aumenta la comprensión del usuario, lo que reduce el consentimiento accidental
Accesibilidad
- Integrar la configuración de privacidad en las interfaces de las aplicaciones para facilitar el acceso de los usuarios. Aumenta la transparencia y la autonomía de los usuarios
- Cronometraje Activar avisos de información inmediatamente antes de la recogida de datos
- Timing: Present information when users are about to grant permissions.
- Relevance: Request only necessary permissions to minimize risk exposure.
- Control: Enable easy withdrawal of consent as users’ preferences evolve.
| Principle | Implementation Strategy | Resultado esperado |
|---|---|---|
| Clarity | Use plain language in permission dialogs and privacy policies | User comprehension increases, reducing accidental consent |
| Accessibility | Embed privacy settings within app interfaces for easy user access | Enhances transparency and user empowerment |
| Timing | Trigger information prompts immediately before data collection | Improves informed decision-making |
| Relevance | Minimize permission scope by design | Limits overreach, protects sensitive data |
| Control | Provide simple toggles or settings to modify or revoke consent | Maintains compliance with GDPR and user expectations |
This increased focus on user consent aligns with broader trends in digital privacy management, paralleling concerns raised by recent developments in AI-driven data analytics.

Collaboration Across the Mobile Ecosystem to Safeguard Data Privacy
The CNIL underscores the importance of a coordinated approach among all players—developers, OS providers, SDK suppliers, and marketplaces—to reinforce privacy protections.
- Clear division of responsibilities: Each stakeholder must understand their legal and operational duties.
- Joint accountability: Data processing transparency requires cooperation to identify sources and recipients of data.
- Unified privacy practices: Adoption of standard approaches to permissions and consent mechanisms.
- Ongoing monitoring: Regular audits and compliance checks from OS providers like Apple and Google and stores such as Amazon.
- Consumer trust enhancement: Transparent sharing of data policies builds user confidence and mitigates reputational risks.
| Stakeholder Group | Role in Enforcement & Compliance | Example Initiatives |
|---|---|---|
| Developers & Publishers | Implement recommendations; update privacy policies | Apps like WhatsApp or Instagram periodically revising consent workflows |
| Presentar información cuando los usuarios están a punto de conceder permisos. | Ensure SDKs support explicit consent protocols | Facebook Audience Network upgrading permission dialogs |
| Sistemas operativos | Engineer permission systems enhancing user control | Apple’s iOS improvements to App Tracking Transparency |
| Estrategia de aplicación | Conduct app audits; remove non-compliant apps | Google Play Store enforcing stricter privacy rules |
Anticipated Enforcement Actions and Industry Support Programs Starting 2025
CNIL plans to initiate targeted inspections of mobile apps starting in early spring 2025. These investigations will assess adherence to privacy and data protection frameworks, focusing especially on permission systems and consent implementations.
- Focused audits: Examination of data processing activities and adherence to user consent norms.
- Complaint-driven investigations: Responsive action on user reports and known infringements.
- Corrective measures: Enforcement including mandatory remediation or sanctions to compel compliance.
- Industry education: Webinars and resources to assist developers in meeting new standards.
- Integration with broader regulatory frameworks: Aligning CNIL’s guidance with Digital Markets Act and competition law.
| Measure | Objetivo | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile App Inspections | Monitor compliance with privacy and consent requirements | Spring 2025 onward |
| Complaint Handling | Address reported violations promptly | Ongoing |
| Developer Webinars | Support implementation of recommendations | Throughout 2025 |
| Corrective Enforcement | Ensure remediation of privacy issues | As needed following audits |
