Let us say NO to apps that force and exceed the scope of excessive requests for personal information.

Some APPs have become an indispensable part of our lives for the time being. However, in recent years, "certain" APP developers have forced, exceeded their scope, and excessively requested people's information and even privacy. We My privacy was displayed in the eyes of the APP developer by Chi Guoguo.

Therefore, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued a notice on the issuance of "Common types of mobile Internet applications that require individuals "Information Scope Regulations"

is to standardize the personal information collection behavior of APPs and solve the current outstanding problems such as over-scope collection and compulsory authorization. Let us say NO to APPs that are compulsory, over-scope, excessive requests, and frequent requests!

Follow the UP master to understand what they are:

Forced request for permissions, collection of personal information beyond the scope, excessive request for permissions, frequent application for permissions

1 .Forcibly requesting permissions

means that when the APP is installed and running, it asks the user for permissions that are not related to the current service. After the user refuses the authorization, the application exits or closes.

Just like in "a certain" game, when the user logs in for the first time, the user is asked to access "photos, media content and file permissions on the device" and "obtain device information" permissions. When the user refuses the authorization After that, the game will provide the user with the necessary permission to read and write the Sim card. If this permission is not granted, the game will not be able to play normally.

This game requires the user to read and write Sim card permissions as necessary permissions, which is a forced claim. (Are you familiar with this operation?)

2. Collecting personal information beyond the scope

It means that the APP collects personal information that is not necessary for the service or has no reasonable application scenarios, and collects it beyond the scope or frequency. Personal information such as address book, location, face, etc., or the permissions turned on to collect personal information have nothing to do with the business functions currently being used.

For example: If you use an input method APP, you need to apply for permission to open the address book! Also get location permission! Photo album permissions! (I’m not surprised anymore)

This is ultra-wide mobile phone personal information.

3. Excessive request for permissions

It’s similar to the previous one. If an APP that has no access to this permission insists on asking for this permission, it will automatically close and not be used. This is It's called over asking for permissions.

4. Frequently applying for permissions

This means that after the user explicitly rejects the permission application, the APP frequently applies to open permissions such as address book, positioning, text messages, recording, camera, etc. that have nothing to do with the current service scenario. , harassing users. When the user clearly expresses that he does not agree with the APP access permissions, every time the user reopens the APP, he will be asked whether he agrees to the APP access and collection of such permissions. This is a frequent request for permissions.

Now if the APP with the above problems can be used, the National Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued the "Common Types of Mobile Internet" Application Scope of Necessary Personal Information" to complain to him.

Just ask him if he is iron-headed and that’s it.
