Privacy remains the number one concern for mobile users*
So, if you’re a mobile app developer:
• Don’t collect data in the first place
• If you have to collect data, don’t store it
• If you really have to store it, anonymize it
• If you really need to store date AND can afford to, encrypt it

“Location-based Services” are going extinct

We will still be discussing privacy in 2050!
