Read the first 7 Professional Ethics & Standards flashcards as text

  1. When an Android app collects personal data, which approach best reflects ethical data practices?

    Answer: Collect only necessary data and clearly disclose it to users in a privacy policy

    Ethical data collection follows the principle of data minimization: collect only what is needed and be transparent about it.

  2. At what point in the user flow should an Android app request a runtime permission like location access?

    Answer: At the exact moment in the flow where the feature needing that permission is used

    Contextual permission requests help users understand why the permission is needed, increasing trust and grant rates.

  3. A developer discovers their app accidentally stores user passwords in SharedPreferences in plaintext. What is the most ethical response?

    Answer: Immediately patch the vulnerability and notify affected users

    Prompt disclosure and remediation protects users and is required by many data protection regulations.

  4. Under GDPR and CCPA, which user right must Android apps honor for applicable users?

    Answer: The right to request deletion of their personal data

    Both GDPR and CCPA grant users the 'right to be forgotten' or right to deletion of their personal data.

  5. What is the most ethical practice when sharing user analytics data with third-party services?

    Answer: Anonymize and aggregate data, and disclose third-party sharing in the privacy policy

    Informed consent and data anonymization are core principles of ethical third-party data sharing.

  6. An Android app is rated for users aged 13 and under. Which approach is ethically and legally required?

    Answer: Comply with COPPA, avoid behavioral advertising, and obtain verifiable parental consent

    COPPA imposes strict requirements on apps directed at children, including parental consent and restrictions on data collection.

  7. Which action violates the ethical principle of user autonomy in Android app design?

    Answer: Defaulting users into data sharing and making the opt-out difficult to find

    Dark patterns that default users into data sharing without clear opt-out mechanisms violate user autonomy and are increasingly illegal.
