Purpose: Controlling access to data outside the health App without user’s express consent.

Requirements:

If mobile network resources are used (bandwidth, SMS, MMS, mails…) the reason why they are being used should be indicated.
If terminal resources are used (Bluetooth, camera, GPS, agenda, calendar…) the purpose of their use should be indicated, as well as the profiles used for the user’s identification.
If access to user’s accounts and profiles in social networks is provided, the user should be notified about it.
The estimated consumption of resources with economic cost made by the App should be notified.
