Navigating the Privacy Compliance Maze: Understanding Risks with Privacy-Configurable Mobile SDKs
Y. Zhang, Z. Hu, et al.
As privacy laws tighten, many third-party SDKs provide privacy APIs but real-world compliance remains murky. This study presents PiCoSCAN, an automated framework that analyzes 65 PiCo SDKs and 48,000+ Android apps, revealing widespread misuses of privacy APIs, mismatches with user preferences, and unreliable wrapper SDKs — research conducted by Yifan Zhang, Zhaojie Hu, Xueqiang Wang, Yuhui Hong, Yuhong Nan, XiaoFeng Wang, Jiatao Cheng, and Luyi Xing.
