Last week the Future of Privacy Forum (FRF) issued “Best Practices for Consumer Wearables & Wellness Apps & Devices.\u00a0 The Best Practices are\u00a0built\u00a0on\u00a0the five core principles of privacy protection, which form the foundation for privacy laws in the U.S.: (1) Notice\/Awareness; (2) Choice\/Consent; (3)\u00a0Access\/Participation; (4) Integrity\/Security; and (5) Enforcement\/Redress.\u00a0 They also\u00a0seek to add protections\u00a0for data that may not be covered by specific sector legislation and to add guidance in areas where general privacy statues are applicable.<\/p>\n
While the Best Practices may appear easy to apply, in practice, they require businesses to develop a comprehensive approach to privacy and data security practices with the guidance of experienced counsel to avoid significant risks in this emerging area.<\/p>\n
