 National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) requested that Google remove 14 applications from its app store because these apps breached the personal information of Pakistani residents. The authority brought this matter to the attention of Google's president for Asia Pacific, Scott Beaumont, legal head for the region, Hiang Choong, and vice president for customer solutions, Stephanie Davis, according to documents viewed by Dawn. The letter, titled "Breach of Personal Data of Residents and their Privacy by Application Providers on Google Play Store," was sent to Google, emphasizing its urgency and importance. The letter stated that the personal data of Pakistani residents was being illegally sold and/or shared by various apps on the Google Play Store. NADRA stated that the recently removed apps were fraudulently using its name and products to deceive users into thinking that they were affiliated, authorized, or operated by NADRA.
