Abstract


Mobile applications have become an essential part of daily life, providing convenience in communication, banking, education, and entertainment. However, the increasing use of mobile apps has raised serious concerns regarding personal data protection. This research paper examines how mobile applications collect, store, and use personal data, and the potential risks associated with data breaches and misuse. It also explores the importance of data protection laws, user awareness, and security measures implemented by app developers. The study highlights that while mobile apps offer numerous benefits, they also pose threats to privacy if proper safeguards are not in place. The paper concludes that both users and developers share responsibility in ensuring data security, and stronger regulations are needed to protect personal information effectively.
