After CARU Query, Kudos Agrees to Modify Children’s Application

Kudos & Co. agreed to modify privacy practices for its social media app to comply with the Children’s Advertising Review Unit’s Self-Regulatory Program for Children’s Advertising, CARU said Thursday. CARU determined the app’s “method of obtaining parental consent was insufficient for its information collection practices and did not meet” federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act requirements. To comply, “Kudos joined and completed certification through an FTC-approved Safe Harbor program,” the company said in a statement.
