The Global Privacy Enforcement Network, made up of more than 30 data protection authorities worldwide, has announced the launch of its annual privacy sweep, which will focus on mobile applications commonly used by children. The group of regulators, which includes the FTC, California AG, U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office and the French Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés, will review whether these products collect children’s data responsibly, provide clear privacy notices, and implement age assurance and protective controls. The initiative highlights the growing importance of safeguarding children’s privacy in digital spaces. This collection of practical articles from the Cybersecurity Law Report presents analyses of requirements under relevant laws and lessons from regulatory enforcement actions to help companies meet compliance obligations.
