User Account Info Data Type Declaration Mismatch
Description
It has been identified that the User Account Info data type declaration in the privacy policy does not accurately match the actual usage of this data, potentially leading to misleading information being provided to users about how their personal information is being handled.
Recommendation
To mitigate the vulnerability of mismatched data type declarations in the privacy policy, it is important to regularly review and update the policy to ensure that it accurately reflects the actual usage of user account information. This can be done by conducting regular audits of data handling practices and making any necessary adjustments to the policy to align with current practices. Additionally, providing clear and transparent communication with users about how their information is being used can help to build trust and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.
