# About ![The AppPETs Project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research](https://4093586666-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LK2eKPkyBU7_oftcrAO%2F-LQrbWYGPlrC-ppYcRuw%2F-LQrbco0ChLXR4_cjKhZ%2FAppPETS-Logo-de.png?alt=media\&token=ee0cde3d-d039-4805-b87a-6f5785c211c8) This document outlines basic aspects of mobile apps which should be considered for writing mobile apps in order to build privacy protection into the apps. We are convinced that **privacy protection is an attractive feature** and can attract addtional users. We aim on providing **easy to implement** privacy features **without limiting** the functions of your app. Basic concepts of privacy problems and how to address them using privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) are combined with legal hints how you comply with data protection law, i.e. the new european data protection regulation. The guideline is work in progress and initiated as part of the [AppPETs](http://app-pets.org/home/) project (funded by the German [Federal Ministry of Education and Research](https://www.bmbf.de/en/index.html)). Contributions, feedback and discussion are welcomed. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
