Chairman Al Franken, D-Minn., of the Senate Privacy Subcommittee told the CEOs of Apple nand Google that their companies' mobile application stores should at least require "clear, nunderstandable" privacy policies for their offerings. Consumers "want more transparency and ncontrol about who is getting their information, how it is being used, and who it is being shared nwith," he said by letter. The app stores should require "location-aware" apps to have privacy npolicies explaining what location information is gathered from users and how data is used and nshared, Franken said.
