Each holiday season brings a new shopping trend–two years ago “Black Friday” started on Thursday, last year it was social shopping, and this year, mobile commerce takes the stage with no signs of becoming a one-season wonder. Instead of braving the lines for doorbusters on Black Friday, consumers increasingly made those first holiday purchases from their tablets with apps. Even on small business Saturday, an increasing number of stores were able to accommodate credit card payments with a smartphone or tablet app and a service like Intuit’s GoPayment.
Washington, D.C. (November 30, 2012) – Today, the Application Developers Alliance along with the American Civil Liberties Union, Consumer Action, and World Privacy Forum announced the first joint industry-consumer proposal to improve and standardize apps’ communications with consumers regarding data that apps are collecting from users and sharing with third parties. The groups developed and presented standardized screens that, when displayed by apps, will inform users what data is being collected by an app with whom it is being shared. Additionally, the screens will link to more traditional “privacy policies,” which generally are very long legal documents that provide much more detail about why data is being used and how it is being secured.
The app ecosystem is large and growing, with more users and more apps added every day. Two-thirds of the U.S. online population has at least one smart mobile device, and 74 percent of those device owners have downloaded an app. In the next six months, about one-third of app users plan to use apps more than they do now, and one-third of non-users plan to start using apps.
Already, the app economy has created 519,000 jobs across the U.S., and this is just the beginning.
