It is reported that this round of App compliance review is jointly conducted by the State Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration of Market Supervision. According to their introduction, the task force composed of the four departments received more than 12,000 online complaints last year, reviewed more than 2,300 apps, and took punitive measures such as public exposure, questioning and removing from app stores against 260 apps with large user scale and prominent problems. According to the relevant person in charge of the State Internet Information Office, the current number of apps has exceeded 5 million, and the problem of illegal and irregular collection and use of personal information has not been fundamentally solved. In 2020, the compliance review will be further enhanced, and extended to SDKs (Software Development Kits) and mini programs, etc. It is reported that the task force will conduct special research and in-depth testing on issues such as irregular collection and use of personal biometric information and abuse of sensitive permissions by apps, focusing on the abuse of background permissions such as recording and taking photos. On the basis of the problem found and the severity of the consequences, the task force will take punitive measures such as questioning, warnings, removing from app stores and fines in accordance with the laws and regulations, thereby forming an effective deterrent to violations. It is reported that the task force plans to develop a App Store Review and Management Guideline on Collection and Use of Personal Information by Apps in order to require app stores to strictly review each app before publishing. In addition, the task force will provide free tools to help small- and middle-sized enterprises to conduct self-assessments and enhance the legal compliance of their personal information collection and use practices.
