Abstract
This poster describes Phase 1 of a survey study to examine the relationship between U.S. consumers’ expectations about how different types of apps will handle user data, and their assumptions about how laws and app store rules regulate handling of that data. We compare data practices of health apps with non-health apps. Statistical evaluation of responses from 307 participants found that their views about what laws or store rules say—or should say—about apps’ likely data practices tended to correlate positively with characteristics of those data practices, including their health-relatedness and sensitivity, and may correlate with characteristics of the app. In the planned Phase 2 of the study, we will refine these work-in-progress results.
