The State of Kids' Privacy: Evaluating the Safety and Security of Kids' Tech
When it comes to choosing the apps, devices, and services we use with kids, there's a lot to consider. Beyond age-appropriate content, parents and teachers need to know how safe a product is before bringing it into their home or classroom. The State of Privacy research series summarizes the most critical aspects of consumer privacy using the findings from hundreds of product evaluations conducted by expert reviewers at Common Sense. Each report documents Common Sense privacy evaluations of popular products and shows changes in practices over time based on publicly available privacy policies and data from past reports.
With these findings, we can begin to see how kids' privacy is protected—or left vulnerable—under the privacy policies of apps and other digital services used by millions of students, schools, and families today.
Note: We are currently focusing on edtech evaluations and will expand this series to include "smart tech" and "kids' tech" in the future.
