Two-thirds of the apps used by preschool-age children in a new study collected and shared personally identifying information about the children using them.
Your preschooler's privacy is likely being violated by the child-centered games or educational apps he or she is playing -- perhaps on your very own smartphone or tablet -- in direct violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
That's the shocking finding of a new study analyzing how developers collect and share personal digital information while children are using many of the tens of thousands of digital apps created for kids -- a trend that is on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic as more and more children shelter and study at home.
Above all, take the invasion of your child's personality, growth and behavior seriously. "Aspects of our personality and neurodiversity are extremely personal and can be exploited, and therefore medical and research institutions have rigorous safeguards to keep this information private," Radesky said.
