In this paper, we investigate Saudi parents' privacy concerns regarding theirchildren's smart device applications (apps). To this end, we conducted a surveyand analysed 119 responses. Our results show that Saudi parents expressed ahigh level of concern regarding their children's privacy when using smartdevice apps. However, they expressed higher concerns about apps' content thanprivacy issues such as apps' requests to access sensitive data. Furthermore,parents' concerns are not in line with most of the children's installed apps,which contain apps inappropriate for their age, require parental guidance, andrequest access to sensitive data such as location. We also discuss severalaspects of Saudi parents' practices and concerns compared to those reported byWestern (mainly from the UK) and Chinese parents in previous reports. We foundinteresting patterns and established new relationships. For example, Saudi andWestern parents show higher levels of privacy concerns than Chinese parents.Finally, we tested 14 privacy practices and concerns against high versus lowsocioeconomic classes (parents' education, technical background, and income) tofind whether there are significant differences between high and low classes (wedenote these differences by "digital divide"). Out of 42 tests (14 properties x3 classes) we found significant differences between high and low classes in 7tests only. While this is a positive trend overall, it is important to work onbridging these gaps. The results of this paper provide key findings to identifyareas of improvement and recommendations, especially for Saudis, which can beused by parents, developers, researchers, regulators, and policy makers.
