Children s app developer HyperBeard has agreed to pay $150,000 after being accused by the Federal Trade Commission of illegally collecting children’s data without parental consent. Department of Justice claims that the app developer allowed third-party ad networks to collect personal data from children using its apps. The settlement included a $4 million penalty but that will be suspended upon payment of the full amount. In addition to this fine, the company must also delete any personal information it illegally collected from children under 13.
