Text summary:

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) in Canada conducted an investigation into a restaurant chain's app and found concerning practices in the use of location data. The app collected sensitive location data even when not in use, raising privacy concerns. The OPC provided recommendations for businesses developing mobile apps, including considering the purpose of data collection, obtaining meaningful consent, reviewing third-party transfers, and establishing a privacy management program. By respecting user privacy, businesses can balance innovation with privacy protection in the digital age.
