Google has updated its browser’s User Data Policy requiring all Chrome extension and app developers to disclose what data they collect. Developers are prohibited from collecting unnecessary browsing data and must also use encryption when handling sensitive information from users. Google plans to enforce developers starting this summer, to “ensure transparent use of the data in a way that is consistent with the wishes and expectations of users” Google has already started notifying app developers about the change in its privacy policy and is giving them 3 months from now to comply.
