Some variety in downloads app
ranking across countries, but
none in revenue rankings
Asian and Japanese publishers
under-represented compared to
ww rankings
American publishers very
present

O t h e r r e g i o n s
“Small countries” : Belgium, Switzerland,
Luxemburg, Austria, Ireland… market looks similar
to same language big country (Germany, UK,
France…)
Eastern EU : low smartphone penetration, low
ARPU
Northern EU : High smartphone penetration, high
ARPU, strong iOS market : similar to US

Current situation:
Law differs between countries
Registration to country organisms mandatory (CNIL, ICO, DPA…)
Germany has the most severe law : guideline for all
EU Unified regulation(General Data Protection Regulation : GDPR)
Voted in April 2016, planned enforcement May 2018
Contrarily to before, applies also to non-EU companies collecting EU citizen data
Unification across EU (Should also apply to UK despite Brexit)
Conditions :
•Data collection must be justified, must be securely trackable, must have an expiration date, must be collected with informed consent of the user.
•All companies above 250 employees must appoint a Data Protection Officer
•In case of breach, user must be notified within 24 hours
•The user must be able to access and suppress their own data
•Minors under 13 must get authorisation by their parent or guardian
•Rules for data transfer outside EU currently under negotiation.
In case of breach, fine of 4% of turnover or 2M€
