Snapchat Settles Federal Trade Commission Charges

On December 23, 2014, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) approved a final order settling charges against Snapchat that it misled consumers in telling them messages sent over the service would disappear. The FTC’s initial complaint, first announced in May of 2014, further alleged that Snapchat misrepresented the extent of its data collection practices and did not adequately protect consumers’ data. As part of the settlement, Snapchat is required to implement a privacy program that will be monitored for the next 20 years. If you are looking for e commerce legal advice visit here.
