Disney has agreed to pay $10 million in civil penalties to settle claims over its data-collection practices with children, the U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday.
A complaint filed in a California district court alleged that Disney failed to designate YouTube video content as directed toward children. As a result, the claim said, Disney collected information from and targeted ads toward children without parental notice and consent.
The complaint alleged the actions violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which prohibits website operators from knowingly collecting information from children under age 13 unless they provide notice to the parents.
