I'm a little puzzled here. GSMA is an carrier association, not an app developer association. (And those are *very* *different* communities.) Did anyone actually talk to app developers about this? On skimming, the content looks pretty non-controversial (at least for this crowd), but I have serious doubts about a carrier-generated document getting implemented by developers. For example, the carriers might be happy to say "don't collect personal information", since their revenue streams don't depend on it; empirically, app developers have a very different opinion. --Richard On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Karl Dubost <karld@opera.com> wrote: > The GSMA organization has published guidelines for people creating mobile applications. > There is at the beginning some definitions about the terms in the guidelines. > > Privacy: Privacy is a dynamic concept that can mean different things > to different people.
