Safe, Fair and Ready: Beacon Launch Review

// Privacy, security, fairness and a launch day demo

Before an app launches, its team checks that it is safe, fair and ready. Personally identifiable information needs protecting, and combined data can reveal a person. Strong passwords, multifactor authentication, encryption, updates and careful permissions protect systems, and phishing tries to trick people into giving personal information. Every security measure trades some usability for security. Fair apps check for bias and wrong assumptions about users, and responsible developers respect licenses and cite the work of others.
