Title: Privacy Engineering: Enabling Mobility of Mental Health Services with Data Protection

Abstract: Ease of access and reduced wait time coupled with COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in unprecedented demand/use of mobile based mental health services, mHealth. At the same time, there are increased concerns about data privacy risks stimulating questions like “Are Apps Enabling Mobility of Mental Health Services with Data Protection”? However, there is relatively little empirically known about the data privacy issues that may exist in mHealth apps, whose users can be particularly vulnerable. This talk will share the motivation, methodological details and key findings of our research aimed at systematically identifying and understanding data privacy incorporated in mHealth Apps. This talk will enumerate the approaches used for in- depth privacy analysis of 27 apps and what we found. I’ll show how we mapped the findings to the LINDDUN threat taxonomy for ease of understandability of the identified issues such as unnecessary permissions, insecure cryptography implementations and leaks of personal data and credentials in logs and web requests. The talk will end with a few recommendations for different stakeholders of mHealth apps in general and apps developers in particular.
