Eğitim Bilişim Ağı, an app developed by Turkey’s Ministry of National Education for preschool, primary and secondary students during Covid-19 school closures, has no privacy policy; its privacy policy link points back to the home page of its website, which also has none. HRW’s dynamic analysis detected students’ Android advertising IDs sent to Google through googleadservices.com, which is operated by Google Ads, and app-measurement.com. HRW also found the app has the ability to access phone numbers, call logs, camera and microphone.
