Technical Capabilities
IDAC, in collaboration with Good Research and AppCensus, has the technical infrastructure and capabilities to monitor, test, and validate the app and web ecosystem for privacy concerns. Our partner technologists can analyze web applications, third-parties, and privacy policies over time and at scale. By performing static and dynamic tests on apps, our investigations can reveal:
- Types of personal data collected
- Who receives collected data
- Types of permissions requested
- Types of software development kits present in the app
- Other data transmissions
Our team of lawyers and privacy experts work closely with our partner technologists to analyze the technical tests and determine if there are differences between what a company’s privacy policy, terms of service, or disclosures state and what our investigation reveals.
