Beta Testing a Carnegie Mellon Tool for Privacy Nutrition Labels

I am part of a group of Carnegie Mellon University students working to help iOS developers fill out the app privacy details (privacy nutrition labels), which are required to list an application on the Apple App Store. We have created a software tool that has been designed to assist developers with creating or updating nutrition labels. Our research study involves asking iOS developers to use our tool and provide feedback on it. You will also be compensated in the form of a $15 Amazon gift card.   

Participation involves a Zoom interview during which we will: (1) grant you access to our software tool to produce a report on your application’s data collection practices, (2) observe you as you use the provided report to fill out the app store questions, and (3) complete a 5-minute survey about your experience. We will not request access to your source code. This study is expected to take 30 minutes.  

If this is your first time filling out the labels, the study may take longer because we will ask you to fill out the label for your app prior to using our tool.   

If you are interested in participating, have an application already listed on the App Store, are over the age of 18, and are located in the U.S., please click the link below that will let you set up your study session.

  • We can now offer $40 for you to participate in our approximately 30 minute study. To make sure the above message is clear, this is a software tool that is meant to help iOS developers better report the privacy details required by Apple.
