Areas for Improvement

• Some data travels with less protection than expected, leaving user data more vulnerable on public Wi-Fi.
• A large number of advertising partners receive user behavioral data, with limited controls offered to users for reducing or opting out of that sharing.
• The simultaneous use of general ad networks and child-directed advertising services raises concerns about appropriate data handling for younger players.
