En casi 80% de las aplicaciones que revisamos (las principales 20 de pago y las principales 20 gratuitas), encontramos discrepancias entre las políticas de privacidad de las aplicaciones y la información que proporcionan a los consumidores en el formato de seguridad de datos de Google.

Stakeholders demonstrate large knowledge gaps in how monitoring software functions: There are significant gaps between what teachers report is communicated about student activity monitoring, often via a form provided along with a school-issued device, and what parents and students retain and report about it.
