What should I do when I receive "4.1 Your app must comply with the following privacy-related requirements"

The most of us are developer; we are technical persons, which do their stuff better than anyone. But besides this, when we are developing a Windows Client application for Windows 8 (Metro App) we don’t need to forget about the legal stuff and similar things. We don’t like them, but we need to resolve them also.
If you have an application that use internet connection, access a backend server, share data with another 3th party like Facebook, Twitter or another system than we should have a simple privacy policy in our application.
From now one this is a MUST, even if in the past was optional. If you try to submit your application without privacy policy that you will receive a big reject with the following message:
"Your app doesn't meet requirement 4.1" (Privacy)
What I recommend, is to add a privacy policy even if you don’t thing that you store, share the user data. Why? Is safest for you and you don’t need to submit the application again if you will have this problem.
What should the privacy policy should contain? Depends, internet is full with a lot of privacy policy text. You can inspire from them, but I recommend to double check the text with someone from legal department or a lawyer.
After you have the privacy policy content, all that you have to do is to publish on your website. If your application don’t have a website, that you can create a blog and publish there the privacy policy. The good part with this is that: you can make anytime an update if the privacy policy without the need to create an update for your application.
When you create your application you will need to add a link in the setting page that will open a browser with the privacy policy. This can be done in different ways. If you have a base class for your pages, that you can override the “OnNavigateTo” method. The code should look something like this:
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{

    SettingsPane.GetForCurrentView().CommandsRequested += (SettingsPane sender, SettingsPaneCommandsRequestedEventArgs args) =>  
      {
        IList<SettingsCommand> commands = requestEventArgs.Request.ApplicationCommands;
        if (commands.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id.ToString().Equals("privacyPolicyCommand",StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)) != null)
        {
          return;
        }

        SettingsCommand privacyPref = new SettingsCommand("privacyPolicyCommand", "Privacy Policy", (uiCommand) =>
          {
            Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync("http://mywebsite.com/privacypolicy.html");
          });
        requestEventArgs.Request.ApplicationCommands.Add(privacyPref);
      });

}
Cool, now we have in our Settings page of each page of our application a link to our privacy policy.
Next step is to add the link to our privacy policy page in the moment when we want to want to submit our applicant. There is a small input with “Privacy policy” label at the end of the page.
I hope that you will not have any kind of problems with 4.1 requirements. Good luck.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see...
