Track: Track 3 - Safety

The mobile space presents a unique set of safety and privacy concerns for children. Geo-location tracking, uploading and sharing of photos/videos, geo-tagging, in-app purchases, targeted mobile ads, and offer walls, just to name a few. Plus, new COPPA requirements could make compliance highly complex and impractical. In this panel, leading experts in the field will help you spot the risks and tell you what you need to know to develop kid-friendly apps on mobile platforms. The FTC and California AG’s office will also discuss their recent studies and enforcement actions in this area. This session produced by the kidSAFE® Seal Program
