Uzunma is fascinated by mobile app technology and works extensively with businesses in assessing their apps for data protection compliance. She leads data privacy design, implementation and audit projects for several mobile apps in the gaming, nutrition and entertainment industry.
While she has supported established mobile app providers, Uzunma believes that personal data privacy in technology should not be limited to large scale operations but considered at all levels of the ecosystem. Through her work with small, innovative tech startups and SMEs, she delivers scalable privacy solutions and supports in ongoing compliance of several AI apps, some dealing with children’s data and other special categories of personal data.

Uzunma is working on a series of guidelines and workshops targeted at providing women app developers and other typically disadvantaged business owners within the app development landscape with free, practical and easily implementable support required to design and deliver privacy compliant mobile applications to the market. Her vision includes matching these developers and businesses with privacy advisors equipped to provide the needed support in terms of practice experience, language and an understanding of their unique business challenges.
