Impactful Policy Frameworks
Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) Framework (2021)
Apple's ATT framework, introduced with iOS 14.5, requires apps to obtain explicit user permission to track their activity across other apps and websites for advertising purposes.
This policy has significantly reduced the availability of user-level data for targeted advertising and attribution, making organic ASO and accurate analytics (like Gummicube's data-driven approach) more crucial for app growth.
Google Play's Data Safety Section (2022)
Google Play introduced a 'Data safety' section in app listings, requiring developers to provide transparent information about what user data their apps collect, share, and how it's used.
This policy increases the importance of trust and transparency in app listings, potentially influencing user downloads and requiring ASO efforts to ensure compliance and clearly communicate data practices.
Proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) (Ongoing)
While not yet law, the ADPPA is a bipartisan bill proposed in the US that aims to establish comprehensive national data privacy standards, potentially preempting state laws.
If enacted, this legislation would introduce new requirements for data collection, processing, and user consent, directly impacting how mobile apps operate, collect user data, and consequently how user acquisition and ASO strategies are implemented.
