WASHINGTON - A coalition of 19 consumer and privacy groups plans to file a complaint on Thursday alleging that Amazon's Echo Dot Kids Edition is illegally collecting voice recordings and other identifying information on users aged under 13 and that the system's parental controls are flawed.
The Institute for Public Representation at Georgetown University Law Centre served as counsel to the groups on the complaint. The complaint also alleges that Amazon keeps children's voice recordings longer than necessary and that the tools allowing parents to delete recordings do not work properly. Amazon spokesman Kinley Pearsall said the Echo Dot Kids Edition is"compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act", but her statement did not address any of the specific issues raised in the complaint.
