collection of users' personal data, particularly for younger
players. The letter asks the company to confirm that it "never
collected or stored any information it gained access to as a result
of this mistake," identify which third parties the collected
data is being shared with, and clarify how children (or their
guardians) can meaningfully consent to this data collection.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
