• Should Section II(A) require the disclosure of data collection that is necessary for the app to function? (10 minutes)
• In Section II(B), should entity types be disclosed to consumers, or should the degree of third party sharing be disclosed instead? E.g. “no third party sharing,” “sharing directly with third parties but no further disclosure,” or “sharing directly with third parties plus further disclosure by those third parties to others.” (10 minutes)
