Disney has agreed to pay $10 million to settle a complaint alleging that the company unlawfully collected children’s personal data, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said in a Sept. 2 statement.

The Sept. 2 complaint against Disney, filed by the Department of Justice after being notified by the FTC, alleged that the company violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by failing to properly label some videos that it uploaded to YouTube as “Made for Kids,” the FTC said in a statement.
