Apple, Google questioned by ICO over app age ratings after UK child safety charity raises concerns
The U.K.’s data protection watchdog has written to Apple and Google seeking details of how they assess apps to determine the age ratings they apply following concerns raised by an online child safety charity.
The move follows the coming into force of the U.K.’s Age Appropriate Design Code this September — which puts requirements on digital services that are likely to be accessed by children to prioritize protecting their privacy and safety.
