This article will focus on three specific options for storing the personal data of the user such as local storage, session storage, and app data storage.
Local Storage
Locally stored data enables applications to run offline, which reduces their dependence on an internet connection. This kind of storage is ideal for applications that only require just a tiny amount of data, like custom settings. As opposed to other types of storage, locally stored data does not persist throughout sessions and is deleted when the user closes the application.
Session Storage
Similar to local storage, session-based storage is an excellent choice for apps that require short-term storage of data. Session storage costs less than local storage and can be used to store information that doesn’t need to be kept for long periods of time, such as login credentials, or other secure information.
App developers can acquire customer information by asking the user to provide it, by inferring it from the user’s on-site behavior or by purchasing it from a third party. Customers must be informed of the use of their information and given the opportunity to reject or rectify any mistakes. Furthermore, it is essential to keep customer information in a standard format for ease of integration and exchange.
