Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for processing a program with export compliance information, the method including in a process of ingesting a program from a developer to an online store, presenting a request to the developer to indicate if the program contains encryption, upon indication that the program contains encryption, presenting an interface for the developer to upload an appropriate export compliance form, blocking the program from the online store if the appropriate export compliance form is not received, and upon receipt of the appropriate export compliance form, receiving and ingesting the program from the developer into the online store. In one aspect, the method further presents an interface to the developer to upload one export compliance form associated with multiple programs. In another aspect, the export compliance form is bundled with the program for distribution in the online store. The method can include blocking the program from the online store if the program does not meet one or more additional requirements. In one aspect, the appropriate export compliance form is transmitted to a reviewing body for approval before completely ingesting the program. The reviewing body may notify the developer of approval or rejection of the export compliance form.
