Privacy Policy Personal Data Categories Disclosure mismatch
Privacy Policy Personal Data Categories Disclosure mismatch
Description
The vulnerability lies in the privacy policy's omission of specific categories of collected personal data, leaving users unaware of the full scope of information being gathered about them.
Recommendation
To mitigate the vulnerability of not mentioning the categories of personal data collected in the privacy policy, ensure that the policy clearly outlines the specific types of personal data being collected, such as contact information, payment details, browsing history, etc. This transparency helps to build trust with users and demonstrates a commitment to protecting their privacy. Regularly review and update the privacy policy to accurately reflect any changes in data collection practices.
