Kids & Data: How Apps Invade Children’s Privacy

Safety Detectives has conducted recently based on how apps designed for children invade their privacy. While conducting our research they identified some concerning privacy related points such as:

  • 70% of the reviewed apps collect identifiers, data usage and biometric information, often without parental consent.
  • Several apps openly admit sharing kids’ data for marketing and ad tracking.
  • To date, regulators have issued over $1 billion in penalties for children’s privacy violations.
  • Some apps had conflicting disclosures across platforms.
