Pixalate’s Q1 2023 Delisted CTV Apps Report reveals a 59% YoY increase in apps delisted from Roku and a 49% YoY increase in apps delisted from Amazon Fire TV
LONDON, May 8, 2023 -- Pixalate, the market-leading fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform for Connected TV (CTV) and Mobile Advertising, today released the Delisted CTV Apps Report: Q1 2023, which provides an analysis of delisted apps on the Roku and Amazon Fire TV app stores.
This report examines characteristics of delisted Roku and Amazon Fire TV apps, including their privacy policies, transparency practices, programmatic ad spend, country of registry, and the app developers.
Delisted apps pose a risk to consumer privacy and the quality of the app ecosystem. While removing apps from a store can prevent future downloads, they may still be installed on users' devices and continue to collect personal information. Pixalate benchmarks this important metric because advertising revenue directed to these apps can incentivize and perpetuate privacy risks.
