\tCanadian authorities issued warnings to 36 app companies over harmful practices including user privacy violations and accusations of distributing spam content.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s telecom and competition watchdogs, and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) said in a statement they have sent letters to the companies advising them to review their practices and take the necessary measures to prevent or correct \u201cactivities that raise concerns\u201d.<\/p>\n

Those include using misleading information to promote an offering; collection of personal data without consent; spamming users’ contacts; sharing information with other devices; and automatically downloading programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese activities put Canadians at risk of fraud, identity theft and financial loss, among other things\u201d, the OPC noted, adding companies in the industry were in a \u201cunique position\u201d to detect and stop harmful practices.<\/p>\n

Josephine Palumbo, deputy Commissioner of Competition at the nation’s Competition Bureau, stated the authority will \u201ctake action” if it “becomes aware of businesses making false or misleading claims on their app or in electronic messages\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
