When it comes to smartphone data collection in 2025, ModeOne discusses here how collection has become a complex compliance challenge.

In their post titled (wait for it!) Compliance Without Compromise: Smartphone Data Collection in 2025 (available here), ModeOne discusses how the compliance landscape has changed. Half of your employees fall under California’s strict privacy laws, others under Maryland’s new MODPA requirements, and you’re struggling to collect from encrypted messaging apps while maintaining regulatory compliance. What used to be a straightforward collection request has become a complex compliance challenge.

The traditional “collect everything” approach isn’t just inefficient—it’s a compliance liability. Each full device backup now carries the risk of privacy violations, consent issues, and regulatory penalties. In 2025’s complex compliance landscape, success requires a new approach that balances speed, precision, and compliance.

So, what is the dual challenge of smartphone data collection in 2025? And how can you address that challenge? Find out here, it’s just one click! Doing so will prove that it’s not just your phone that’s smart! 😉
