Disconnect, The Anti-Ad Tracking Startup, Now Has A Privacy App Specifically For Children (Built By An Ex-NSA Engineer)

Disconnect KidsDisconnect, the anti-tracking, anti-ad targeting startup launched by ex-Googler Brian Kennish and consumer rights attorney Casey Oppenheim, has more than 1 million people each week using its apps and browser extensions to block how different third-party sites collect information about what you do online and then use it to serve ads. Now it's taking its campaign to the next generation: today, the company is launching Disconnect Kids, a free iOS app designed specifically for children (and their parents) to help them control how their web and app browsing activity is used, and to educate them about online privacy in the process. It claims that it is the first, iOS app designed to "prevent data about your web-browsing and in-app activity from ever leaving your device."
