Abstract

As mobile applications increasingly handle sensitive user data, ensuring privacy has become a primary concern for developers and users alike. Android, as the dominant mobile operating system, offers numerous tools and APIs to support privacy-preserving mechanisms. This paper explores various strategies and best practices for implementing privacy-preserving mechanisms in Android applications. It delves into Android’s built-in privacy features, advanced techniques for data anonymization, encryption, and secure communication, as well as third-party libraries that enhance user privacy. Additionally, statistical insights illustrate the significance of privacy-focused development in the modern app ecosystem.
