Rigorous Privacy Compliance in Modern Application Ecosystems (2024–2027)

Abstract:
Modern network applications such as mobile applications and browser extensions have become the primary gateways for consumers to access the Internet in today's digital landscape. This project aims to address privacy issues in these ecosystems by developing a new privacy-compliance assessment framework. The framework will evaluate the current privacy practices of application ecosystems, enabling users and developers in Australia and worldwide to reliably identify potential privacy risks and issues on their applications. The intended outcomes should endow data controllers with the capability of evidencing their compliance of data protection legislations such as Australia Privacy Act 1988 and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
