The Caitong Securities App was suspected of privacy non-compliance because it began to collect personal information before obtaining the consent of the user; the China Post Securities App was suspected of privacy non-compliance because it did not establish and publish personal information security complaints and reporting channels, or exceeded the promised time limit for handling replies.
In addition, the 9 apps did not provide effective functions for correcting, deleting personal information and canceling user accounts, or setting unreasonable conditions for canceling user accounts, which was suspected of privacy non-compliance. Including GF Easy Gold Tao, Western Securities, eHai Tong Cai, Guolian Securities Zunbao, Wanhe Mobile Securities Software, Huitong Qifu, New Era Securities, China Post Securities, East Asia Qianhai Yuesheng.
It is worth noting that Shell financial reporters found that more than 60% of these suspected privacy non-compliant software are app versions downloaded from third-party platforms such as Pea Pod, Le Store, 360 Mobile Assistant, Baidu Mobile Assistant and so on. In addition, 5 product versions are from the Xiaomi App Store; 1 is from the Huawei app market.
It is understood that in response to the above situation, the National Computer Virus Emergency Treatment Center reminds the majority of mobile phone users to first carefully download and use the above illegal and illegal mobile Apps, and at the same time pay attention to carefully read their user agreements and privacy policy descriptions, do not open and agree to unnecessary privacy permissions, do not enter personal privacy information at will, regularly maintain and clean up relevant data, and avoid personal privacy information being leaked.
