Disney Sued for Tracking Children Without Permission via Mobile Games

The lawsuit claims that over 40 games for Android and iOS collection kids information via the SDKs, and transmitted this data to Disney’s servers.

In 2011, the Federal Trade Commission fined the multi-billion dollar Disney corporation with $3 million after subsidiary Playdom, Inc. collected data on child players without parental approval.
