Kurbo by WW charged with collecting kids’ personal info without parents’ permission


Kurbo by WW charged with collecting kids’ personal info without parents’ permission

by Amy Hebert, Consumer Education Specialist, FTC

Advertised as a weight management service for kids, teens, and families, the Kurbo by WW app and website let kids as young as 8 track their weight, food intake, activity, and more. 

The problem? 

Many parents didn't know their kids were using it, while the app and website were collecting and keeping information about kids without their parents' permission.
