Facebook recently signed California’s Joint Statement of Principles, first announced in February 2012 and signed by six other app store providers: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Hewlett-Packard, and Research in Motion. Upon launching their App Center, Facebook already required apps to provide notifications and hyperlink to a privacy policy. Per the agreement, Facebook apps that collect personal information will now have to provide their privacy policy upfront, before a user installs the app. Furthermore, the app’s privacy policy must specify the data collected, how it will be used, and with whom it will be shared.
