So if your app is targeted for users living within EU member states, it is advisable to get the app compliant with GDPR standards. Every bit of software needs to process personal user data with utmost privacy and security so that it is compliant with regulatory requirements. It is advisable to eliminate any app feature and solution that could impede the compliance measures.
