Mobile apps for kids collecting and sharing information with third parties | Libertés Numériques | Scoop.it
Many mobile apps aimed at children are sharing personal information - such as device ID, geolocation and phone numbers - with third parties, all without notifying parents or asking for permission.

A number of mobile apps also contain advertising, in-app purchasing ability, and links to social media. Some even send information to ad networks, analytics companies, or other third parties, all without disclosing such features to parents prior to download.
