Abstract: As the Internet has really became a must for all modern societies, there are a lot of modifications that appear, somewhat regularly, related to the use of services over this networking infrastructure. During the last years we have seen a surge in the use of mobile apps, especially after the invasion of smartphones (which actually surpassed the "standard", feature phones in most markets). The ubiquitous smartphone is a permanent companion for most people, especially young one but the usage levels is at very high levels in middle-aged category too, and the internet connection is now a given-fact for a smartphone user. Almost all software vendors today provide a mobile app to complement, or in a few cases even replace, the traditional software they create. All those mobile apps have the main advantage of being right at hand, on our smartphones, being able to fulfill a need (at least at a certain level) without the actual use of a traditional PC, either desktop or laptop. Most, if not all, of these mobile apps require us to grant them access to different sets of personal information. These data have now to be filtered through the requirements of the latest EU data regulation legislation, which is enforced from May 2018. The GDPR documents provide very specific and detailed requirements that all personal data processor must obey from that moment on.
