In collaboration with Kryptowire, the IAPP is building a crowd-sourced risk-scanning tool for mobile applications. The tool will allow privacy professionals to scan the code of an app being created by their organizations to flag potential privacy issues that might need to be mitigated or mentioned in a privacy notice. First, however, we need to assess how much risk privacy professionals perceive in actions taken by mobile applications, from accessing contacts to turning on a microphone. Thus, we invite you to take this survey of privacy risks in the mobile environment. This will help us create a crowd-sourced understanding of how various activities alter an app's privacy-risk profile. The scoring you provide will be completely anonymous and results will only be analyzed and delivered in the aggregate. The resulting report analyzing mobile risk scoring will be made available to one and all, and use of the resultant tool will be a benefit of IAPP membership.
