This article focuses on three specific options for storing end user data such as local storage, session storage, and app data storage.
Local Storage
Locally stored information allows applications to function offline, which reduces the dependence on a continuous internet connection. This kind of storage is ideal for apps that require some data, such as custom-setups. Locally stored data is not permanent across sessions, and is deleted when the app is closed.
Session Storage
Similar to local storage session-based storage is an excellent option for applications that require storage for data on a short-term basis. Session storage costs less than local storage and can be used for data that does not need to be saved, like login credentials or other private information.
App developers can get customer data in three ways: either asking for it, or inferring it from the user's actions on-site, or by purchasing it. Customers should be informed about the processing of their data and have the option to refuse or correct any errors. It is also crucial to store data in a standard format that allows for easy integration and exchange.
