State Of Children’s Privacy On Mobile Apps Report - Q1 2025
The State Of Children’s Privacy On Mobile Apps Report is part of Pixalate's COPPA Violation Risks in Mobile Apps series. This report highlights app developers on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store that are at risk of violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) for gathering children’s personal information through likely child-directed apps without a compliant privacy policy, as assessed by Pixalate.
Key Findings:
- Compliance Issues: 17% (286) of the identified advertising enabled and likely child-directed mobile apps were likely non-compliant with COPPA
- 17 mobile apps did not have a detectable privacy policy
- Missing Disclosures: 79% (225) of the identified mobile apps with ads lacked a Children's Privacy disclosure – a requirement under the COPPA Rule
According to Pixalate’s analysis, 100% of these likely child-directed and advertising enabled apps shared US consumers’ personal information with advertisers via the advertising bid stream.
