However, negative news reports about alleged abuses of personal information can leave developers vulnerable. New legislation in the US and across Europe means developers could soon be liable to privacy-related prosecutions. The good news is that it’s easy to make apps privacy friendly.

The free session will be led by Todd Daubert, a Partner at MEF Member Dentons and Chair of their legacy Communications and Technology Sectors, as well as a key member of MEF’s Privacy in Mobile Apps Working Group, responsible for the development of the App Privacy Initiative.

The expert panel also includes representatives from AVG, Field Fisher Waterhouse and TRUSTe:
