FTC: FTC Brings First Case Against Developers of “Stalking” Apps
Settlement resolves charges that Retina-X’s products created security vulnerability and violated consumers’ privacy
October 22, 2019 - The Federal Trade Commission has barred the developers of three “stalking” apps from selling apps that monitor consumers’ mobile devices unless they take certain steps to ensure the apps will only be used for legitimate purposes. The settlement resolves allegations that these apps compromised the privacy and security of the consumer devices on which they were installed.
The FTC’s proposed settlement also requires Retina-X Studios, LLC and its owner, James N. Johns, Jr., to delete the data they collected from the stalking apps. The settlement prohibits Retina-X and Johns from promoting, selling, or distributing any monitoring app that requires users to circumvent a device’s security protections to install it, absent reasonable steps to ensure that the app is being used for legitimate purposes.
“This is our first action against a so-called ‘stalking app,’” said Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Although there may be legitimate reasons to track a phone, these apps were designed to run surreptitiously in the background and are uniquely suited to illegal and dangerous uses. Under these circumstances, we will seek to hold app developers accountable for designing and marketing a dangerous product.”
