This passage presents the findings of a significant study focusing on the challenges surrounding privacy policies in the iOS app store ecosystem. The research highlights the prevalence of missing or invalid privacy policy links provided by mobile app developers and sheds light on the distribution and content of privacy policies across a large number of apps. Additionally, the introduction of the App Privacy Policy Extractor (APPE) and the App Privacy Policy Corpus (APPC-451K) offer valuable resources for further research and analysis in the field. This study contributes to the understanding of compliance requirements and the practical implementation of privacy policies in the mobile app development industry, making it relevant and informative for students studying intellectual property, compliance, and privacy.
