Principles of Mobile Privacy

The growth of the mobile internet and converged services is creating new challenges related to the use and protection of people’s personal information. This three-week course investigates the current state of mobile privacy, highlights research into consumer attitudes towards their privacy and examines current and emerging regulations around the world. The course also reviews the GSMA’s universal Mobile Privacy Principles, Privacy Design Guidelines for app developers and industry initiatives that give consumers more control over how their information is used.

Course Objectives

Consider the role of mobile operators, internet content providers and consumers in respecting and protecting the privacy of consumers.
Discover how regulation can be applied effectively to protect consumer privacy in a converged world.
