SAN FRANCISCO, June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Common Sense Media released a comprehensive report that reveals that hundreds of popular apps and online platforms used by kids and families are likely sharing and selling kids' personal data, even as state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) prohibit selling consumer data without notice and the ability to opt out.

Key Points: 
  • This year, amendments to the CCPA expanded the definition of selling data to include practices like tracking users' behavior and sharing that data with advertisers for profit.
  • That includes the use of third-party tracking technologies, tracking users across the internet, and creating advertising behavioral profiles for commercial purposes.
  • So there's no way for parents or caregivers to know if the products their kids are using are protecting their privacy.
  • Parents, caregivers, and educators can use Common Sense Media's free privacy ratings to get detailed information about the privacy practices of apps and online platforms to help make informed decisions.
