Children's apps and websites raise privacy concerns

Children's apps and websites raise privacy concerns | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Given the publicity attracted by recent high-profile data breaches and the consequences for those whose personal information was subsequently leaked, it may, perhaps, concern parents to learn that around half of the sites examined by GPEN were happily and willingly sharing their children's data with third parties.

Also, considering the occasionally dark nature of the world we live in, anyone with responsibility for a child's welfare may well not like the revelation that just under 1 in 4 sites and apps gave kids the opportunity to upload their photo or add video clips. 22% of the services looked at also allowed youngsters to hand over their phone numbers.

Sadly, despite the potential problems posed by allowing children to share too much data, only 24% of the tested apps and websites encouraged any sort of parental oversight.

What's more, should a concerned adult discover that their offspring is revealing too much personal information, the options for remedying the situation are few and far between - with 71% of the investigated services making it difficult or impossible to delete accounts.

Adam Stevens, head of the ICO's intelligence hub said:

These are concerning results. The attitude shown by a number of these websites and apps suggested little regard for how anyone's personal information should be handled, let alone that of children.

Sicherheitsforscher warnen Nutzer von Android- und iOS-Apps vor der Verwendung unsicherer Passwörter. Viele der getesteten Apps verfügen über keinen Schutz vor Wörterbuch-Attacken.


Viele App-Entwickler haben ihre Hausaufgaben nicht gemacht: Rund 53 der beliebtesten Android- und iOS-Apps bieten nach Angaben von Sicherheits-Forschern der Universität Cambridge keinen Schutz vor Brute-Force-Angriffen. Insgesamt seien diese Apps vermutlich 600 Millionen Mal heruntergeladen worden.

Hands-on: Child-friendly YouTube Kids app launches on Android and iOS

Hands-on: Child-friendly YouTube Kids app launches on Android and iOS | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
YouTube is a fantastic way to keep your kids entertained with a tablet or smartphone, but it’s also a little concerning. You just never know if your child will end up using the suggested videos feature to jump from Sesame Street’s Elmo to a drunk Elmo parody, or view inappropriate advertising.

Google is aiming to solve that problem with a new app called YouTube Kids available on Monday for Android and iOS. The Kurio and nabi kids’ tablets will also receive the app in the coming weeks.

Early reports about the app surfaced late last week, but details were a little thin. Now that the app is available we can say that at first glance this app should appeal to parents and kids alike.
