Global privacy sweep of websites, apps used by children shows mixed results

( March 25, 2026, 17:21 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Canada’s Privacy Commissioner, along with 26 data protection and privacy authorities, announced the conclusion of a global privacy sweep that highlights how child-friendly practices on websites and mobile applications can protect children’s privacy online. Overall, sweep participants reported good practices to protect children and their personal information, such as notifications advising children not to use their real names or upload images, as well as having location sharing disabled by default. They also noted practices that raised concerns about children’s privacy, and that suggest that some risks may have increased over the last 10 years.See attached file. ...
