Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) 2018 (amended by CPRA 2020)
The CCPA grants California consumers new rights regarding their personal information collected by businesses, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their data. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), effective January 1, 2023, expanded these rights and established the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) to enforce consumer data privacy laws.
AppMagics must ensure all apps developed for the US market, especially those targeting California users, comply with stringent data collection, storage, and user rights provisions, requiring careful data privacy architecture and user consent mechanisms.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) 1998
COPPA imposes certain requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, or operators who have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13, regarding the collection of personal information from children.
AppMagics must be extremely cautious when developing apps that might appeal to or be used by children under 13, ensuring robust age-gating mechanisms and parental consent procedures are in place to avoid severe penalties.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 (released 2024)
NIST CSF 2.0 provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for organizations to manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. It focuses on governance, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover functions, expanding its scope beyond critical infrastructure to all organizations.
AppMagics needs to integrate the updated NIST CSF 2.0 guidelines into its development processes, ensuring that all applications are built with enhanced security measures and robust risk management protocols, increasing client trust and product reliability.
