摘要：In 2016, there were over 13 billion app downloads worldwide across the iOS App Store and Google Play. Many ofthese apps collect user and usage data. Apple iTunes requires such apps to post a privacy policy with the app, whichis mostly ignored by users given that is it buried at the bottom of the app page when viewed on a mobile device. In2004, California established a law with broad requirements for privacy policies. Moreover, in 2014, the AttorneyGeneral’s office in California made further recommendations on the readability of privacy policies. In this paper, wewill examine the characteristics of the privacy statements found for popular business apps in the iTunes store byexamining the readability metrics and confirm the readability of privacy policies associated with apps. Our study alsoprovides a privacy policy text corpus for further research.
