FTC Part of International Collaboration To Protect Children’s Privacy

The FTC and 27 members of the Global Privacy Enforcement Network, a group of privacy enforcement agencies around the world, are “marshaling resources to protect the privacy of children online,” a news release said Monday. “In this latest initiative, privacy experts from the FTC’s Office of Technology Research and Investigation will conduct an analysis of the privacy disclosures, interactive features, and information collection practices of children’s mobile apps,” the release said. “Staff expect to release a summary of their findings later this year,” it said.
