They accuse Disney of spying on children with their mobile games

A group of American parents have filed a lawsuit claiming that their 42 games share data privately for advertising purposes. All this without the consent of the parents of these children. So the controversy is served. Meanwhile, Disney denies those allegations.

Does Disney spy on children?

In the United States there is a law that was created to protect the privacy of minors under the age of 13 on the internet. Therefore, all software services launched for such an audience must protect and protect the privacy of children. And they are obliged to alert in a clear and simple way all the data that is collected at the start of each game or application.

In the case of Disney, such notice at the start of their games exists. And it is a clear and simple notice. The problem does not lie there. The company appears to be extracting undeclared usage data in that privacy alert. And then they trade that data. So, according to the parents, Disney would be breaking the law.

Disney denies these accusations, so they will have to demonstrate that this is not the case. So far, the company has been accused of carrying out these practices in a total of 42 games. An extensive list as you can see. So we will have to wait to see how this case evolves.
