Grogan further elaborates on the possible need to regulate super apps as public utilities in some jurisdictions .
“ You need a valid lawful basis in order to process personal data ,” he says . “ Everyone always talks about consent , but there are actually six in total . It may well be that , depending on the basis relied upon , a super app cannot lawfully process personal data in such a way as allows it to feed in across a vast , varied and ever-growing application .”
Hauser points to potential data breaches due to inadequate security measures . His concern , however , is also about the consent given by users to access their data , often without scrutinising the terms and conditions .
