    Privacy Commissioner calls on Google, Apple to better protect user privacy (RTGAM)

    SUSAN KRASHINSKY

    Canada?s Privacy Commissioner has joined 22 of his counterparts within Canada and around the world to issue an open letter asking tech giants such as Google Inc. and Apple Inc. to better control user privacy in mobile applications.

    The letter calls on seven of the largest operators of app marketplaces to require apps to beef up privacy measures: recipients were Apple, Google, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Microsoft Corp., Nokia Corp., BlackBerry Ltd. and Amazon.com Inc.

    As app usage has grown, so has the concern around their privacy controls. Apps are now ubiquitous: as of December, 2013, 75 per cent of Canadian mobile subscribers had a smartphone, according to comScore. Overwhelmingly, those devices function through apps, those tiles we tap on to check e-mail, play games, find map directions, and check social media such as Facebook and Instagram.

    These apps have generated their own economy, with $1.7-billion in revenue per year in Canada alone. That number is forecast to reach $5.2-billion within five years, according to the Information and Communications Technology Council.

    The joint letter from the global privacy authorities is based on a study conducted this past spring, which tracked more than 1,200 of the world?s most popular apps. The Global Privacy Enforcement Network (GPEN) ?Privacy Sweep? looked at whether ? and how ? users were told about the apps? privacy policies.

    The privacy authorities were especially concerned about the collection of users? personal information. Of the apps examined in the Privacy Sweep, just 15 per cent of those worldwide and 28 per cent in Canada included privacy information that clearly explained how the app collected and used personal information. More than half of apps worldwide and 26 per cent in Canada had either no privacy information other than requesting certain permissions, or gave ?inadequate? privacy information that did not explain how personal information would be collected, used and disclosed.

    While the letter was sent to seven ?key players,? the behaviour that the letter urges is meant for all app developers. The operators of the marketplaces were urged to play a bigger role in privacy controls, however. The letter called on them to include privacy policy links within app listings in their marketplaces (which is sometimes done but is not universal) and to make clear privacy information a requirement before apps can be listed on those marketplaces.

    ?We?re asking marketplaces ? the Googles and the Apples of this world, which are sophisticated companies in terms of privacy laws ? to be good corporate citizens and to have conversations with app developers that are less sophisticated, to ensure there is at least some privacy information,? Daniel Therrien, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, said in an interview. ?...We call on them to have these conversations ... and yes, to respond positively to our letter.?

    The Globe contacted the seven companies listed on the open letter. All either declined to comment or did not respond to requests for a response.

    The first ?Privacy Sweep? occurred in 2013, and looked at how privacy was handled by a number of websites. That study led the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to contact a number of website operators to flag privacy concerns. More than half of those agreed to make changes to their privacy policies.

    The second study, which triggered the letter sent this week, looked at apps to address the way we interact with mobile devices on a daily basis. Mobile devices can provide reams of personal information, including a person?s location, contact information, mobile purchases and more.

    The letter focuses on the worst cases ? where privacy information is missing entirely. But there are many other issues, Mr. Therrien said.

    ?It is also a problem ? though not the subject of today?s letter ? that some privacy policies are very lengthy or are just not done in a way that can be read easily on a small screen,? he said.

    The global authorities decided to issue the letter together because in a digital world, personal data travels internationally.

    Signatories include privacy officials in Australia, Germany, Britain, Hong Kong and South Korea, as well as provincial offices in Canada, in addition to the federal Privacy Commissioner.

    ?It?s essential that privacy commissioners and data protection authorities on many issues act in unison, to send messages to organizations responsible for the collection of personal information,? Mr. Therrien said. ?? It sends a stronger message when we act collectively.?

    The letter was spurred on by the findings of the Global Privacy Enforcement Network (GPEN) ?Privacy Sweep,? a study in May that examined privacy controls in 1,211 tablet and smartphone apps. In Canada, the sweep included 151 of the most popular apps.

    Examiners downloaded and used apps to look for five indicators of privacy. Those included a privacy policy that was clearly communicated before downloading; policies tailored to read easily on small screens; permissions requested (such as the permission to access social media accounts or online browsing behaviour, track the user?s location, etc.); permissions that did not seem necessary for the app to function; and the examiner?s overall satisfaction with how clearly the app explained its use of personal information and privacy policies.

    The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada stresses that the study is not a formal investigation, and represents only a ?moment in time? ? since apps often change and can be improved or updated. As of May, these were some of its findings:

    Permissions that apps requested

    Of 1,211 apps globally, 75 per cent requested one or more permissions from users. In Canada, 70 per cent did so.

    Requests:

    Location: 32 per cent globally/ 22 per cent in Canada

    Device ID: 16 per cent globally/13 per cent in Canada

    Access to other accounts: 15 per cent globally/23 per cent in Canada

    Camera: 10 per cent globally/8 per cent in Canada

    Contacts: 9 per cent globally/10 per cent in Canada

    Call log: 7 per cent globally/11 per cent in Canada

    Microphone: 5 per cent globally/7 per cent in Canada

    SMS (text messaging): 4 per cent globally/6 per cent in Canada

    Calendar: 2 per cent globally/same in Canada

    Apps that scored high

    The OPC cited three examples of apps that sweepers gave top marks. Overall, 28 per cent of apps studied were highly rated, compared to a global average of 15 per cent.

    Shazam

    Name that tune. This app can be used to detect music and provide the artist and song name.

    Access requested:

    -access to identity (accounts)

    -location

    -photos/media/files

    -camera/microphone

    -device ID/call information

    Why it did well:

    -Clearly explained each permission, so that users understood the request (e.g. for access to system tools, ?to prevent the phone sleeping while we play videos, and to sync your Shazam account preferences.)

    -Explanations were often given as part of a request for permissions, or via a link in the request

    Fertility Friend

    A made-in-Canada ovulation calculator that helps users track their menstrual cycles. Users provide intimate health details for app use, including fertile days and instances of intercourse.

    Why it did well:

    -Acknowledged the information collected is ?extremely sensitive?

    -Pledged it will not ?sell or transmit to others any personally identifiable data?

    -Formatted the privacy policy to be easy to read on a small screen

    -Committed not to accepting advertising, since it could target users based on health information

    Trip Advisor: City Guides

    Manage travel by looking up reviews of local establishments and creating itineraries.

    Why it did well:

    -Formatted the privacy policy to be easy to read on a small screen, including a table of contents that linked directly to that particular information

    -Policy included a section dedicated to explaining what personal information the app gathers and why

    Apps that scored low

    Overall, 26 per cent of apps studied were rated very low (46 per cent fell somewhere in the middle of the ratings). Some examples:

    Super-Bright LED Flashlight

    A free app that turns a built in phone light into a flashlight.

    Access requested:

    -camera/microphone

    -device ID

    -call information

    -photos/media/files ? including the ability to modify or delete contents of the device SD card

    -Wi-Fi connection information

    -other permissions such as the ability to modify system settings

    Why it did poorly:

    -Did not explain why the information was needed to operate a flashlight

    -No link to a privacy policy on the Google Play store listing

    -Developer?s website contained no content beyond a link for people interested in buying the website domain, and a privacy policy for the developer that included no information about the flashlight app?s use of information

    Pixel Gun 3D

    A cartoon shooting game.

    Access requested included:

    -device ID/call information

    -device/app history

    -photos/media/files

    Why it did poorly:

    -No privacy policy available in the App Store listing or within the app itself

    -No privacy policy on the developer?s website

    -A ?terms of use? policy was available within the app, and said the developer had full control over user content, unless and until the user deletes the content or uninstalls the app ? even then third parties and back-ups may still have the information

    -The ?terms of use? was long and ?legalistic,? and not formatted for a small screen (for example the font was small, and shown on a ?colourful, moving, animated background?

    Secondly, I type with one hand by pressing the side of the phone against my leg and in that way I can reach all of the buttons no problem and the screen size is so big I can see it plainly from that distance.

    The word is getting out there .............. slowly.
    Excellent tip, thanks!

    Keep in mind that many of the posted full length articles are from a subscription based site and therefore a simple link or short quote doesn't do many of us any good.
    Agreed but so far with 40 pages - via cb10 - not one person posting such lengthy articles has stated the source is subscription only including the most recent lengthy quote. That was part of my point.

    Would be nice that this site and app allows for shrinking & expanding such quotes with posts other readers come across.

    BlackBerry - Accept no substitute. Period!

    Most of the drop occurred prior to the last settlement on Nov 15 as seen in the below link. So essentially the increase of 11MM shorts was likely to keep prices depressed as of 11/17/2014, which still shows that it's taken a lot of shorting power to keep the prices low, likely so they can keep the price depressed to prevent any resistance from being breached and thus have resistance at lower levels be tested on the earnings day or to plummet the stock if news is bad. Also it will prevent any rapid accumulation from bigger players or eyes being placed on the equity since price isn't moving anywhere.

    All in all its manipulation, and nothing will unfortunately be done about it.

    I for one would love to hear one of our resident experts here seriously analyze exactly who these large short interest groups are.

    I noticed that a few others here feel strongly that heavy manipulation is at hand, but what is the main motive? Obviously for some to make money, but are there large hands involved that don't want BlackBerry to succeed because of security from spying or fear of the dominance of past days perhaps?

    I have a few more days of vacation to ponder the conspiracies....

    Google, Samsung, Apple obviously don't want BlackBerry to succeed. But I doubt they'd manipulate financial markets to that end. But then, you never know

    Good morning,

    regarding the latest Apple/IBM headlines I just want to add my opinion but not in my words, because I found it better expressed by Hene (Source: BlackBerry Ltd Threatened By Apple ? IBM Partnership - Comment section)

    This is not a threat. For a long time folks used to talk about how Microsoft Exchange Server was a threat to Blackberry Server, but yet still every company which had exchange server ended up buying blackberry server to sit on top. Today, we are to believe that a company called IBM which is not great at developing domain-specific app can get together with another company called Apple which has never developed an enterprise app before and somehow release a set of apps to challenge a company called blackberry which is not in the business of developing apps? IBM wants to develop an enterprise app for sales people but Salesforce is the domain expert and has already developed an app, and Blackberry has teamed up with Salesforce. One of the apps released by IBM today is an app for managing airline scheduling. Well, Sabre actually has an app already on iPads. So, how can IBM take on Sabre?

    If the play is security, then Blackberry has a private network, IBM does not. That is obvious considering the fact that they went to Apple to try and make news splash. If companies want to buy iPads, they will buy because the vendors they already use release iPad versions. IBM is pulling on straws looking for wasteful services business but it is going to run into Accenture not Blackberry.

    I'm confident BlackBerry will not underestimate this very serious threat. No doubt there are challenges and in some instances BlackBerry is ahead/better positioned, but both companies (AAPL/IBM) have a huge amount of capital available. IBM has a strong cloud, software and consulting capability, as well as maas360. I don't know the specific barriers, but I assume a competitive NOC could be built if strategically important (they wouldn't be starting from zero). IBM also has a very large customer base in BlackBerry's target verticles. Apple, in contrast, has a very extensive end user base with expertise in user experience, new product development, marketing, etc.

    I don't need BlackBerry to take over the world, but definitely want them to carve out a big enough piece so I can participate in the $100 share price party!

    I am wondering now, if Blackberry is terminating the program on the 19 of December? John Chen has said they might end the program sooner then Jan 31 2015. I guess we have to wait.

    If you look at this thread, unlike the passport we not only have FCC certification for the GSM version, but a Verizon version as well. (http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ed-fcc-977376/).

    That leads me to believe we will see both USA majors on board with this one. There is even a Verizon version with no camera - that's classic to the extreme

    Cellphone searches upon arrest allowed by Canada's top court

    Searches must be directly related to arrest, police must keep detailed notes

    By Laura Payton, CBC News Posted: Dec 11, 2014 9:57 AM ET| Last Updated: Dec 11, 2014 9:57 AM ET

    Cellphone searches upon arrest allowed by Canada's top court - Politics - CBC News

    Police searches of the cellphones that are in possession of suspects are constitutional as long as they relate directly to the arrests and police keep detailed notes, Canada's top court said today.

    The Supreme Court of Canada split 4-3, with the minority arguing cellphones and personal computers are "an intensely personal and uniquely pervasive sphere" that needs clear protection.

    The majority also found that passwords protecting phones don't carry much weight in assessing that person's expectation of privacy.

    "An individual's decision not to password protect his or her cellphone does not indicate any sort of abandonment of the significant privacy interests one generally will have in the contents of the phone," Justice Thomas Cromwell wrote.

    Canadian courts have been inconsistent so far in deciding whether police can search the cellphone of someone they're arresting, an issue that raises more privacy issues with the prevalence of smartphones that carry vast amounts of information.

    I for one, don't mind reading the article here. However, thanks to the guys who have subscriptions which I don't have the access to and they copy and paste the entire article.

    Thanks mate! I can't go through the article and only select certain paragraph, because it might turn out to be misleading. But if the general public in this thread wish not to have big posts, then I will stop, but I will not post only part of an article.
