California's Attorney General announced a deal Wednesday with six major mobile apps companies that would require apps in their stores and on their platforms to post privacy policies detailing how they collect personal information before they are downloaded. The agreement comes as concern over how mobile companies use that information has grown.
Kamala Harris worked with Amazon (s amzn), Apple (s aapl), Google (s goog), HP (s hpq), Microsoft (s msft), and Research in Motion (s rimm) on what appears to be a formal agreement to help app developers comply with an already existing California law that requires them to have privacy policies.
