Legal considerations
Let’s consider a particular hypothetical application XYZ. Data that is coming from user interactions with XYZ is collected by the company XYZ.
In the case of the hypothetical application XYZ, the ownership of the data collected from user interactions would depend on the terms and conditions agreed upon by the user and the company XYZ. The company may claim ownership over the data, or the user may retain ownership and grant the company a license to use the data for specific purposes.
It’s important for users to carefully review the terms and conditions of any application or service they use, as these terms may outline the rights of both parties in relation to the data collected. If users are concerned about data ownership or privacy, they may also consider seeking legal advice or using privacy-enhancing technologies to protect their data.
