Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To 

Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, 

subject to final approval, an agreement 

containing consent order from General 

Workings Inc., Ali Moiz, and Murtaza 

Hussain (collectively ‘‘Respondents’’). 

The proposed consent order has been 

placed on the public record for thirty 

(30) days for receipt of comments by 

interested persons. Comments received 

during this period will become part of 

the public record. After thirty (30) days, 

the Commission will again review the 

agreement and the comments received, 

and will decide whether it should 

withdraw from the agreement and take 

appropriate action or make final the 

agreement’s proposed order. 

Respondent General Workings Inc., 

also doing business as Vulcun, is a 

Delaware corporation with its principal 

office or place of business in San 

Francisco, California. Respondents Ali 

Moiz and Murtaza Hussain are founders 

and officers of Vulcun. The 

Commission’s complaint alleges that 

Respondents installed software, 

including Chrome browser extensions 

and mobile apps, onto users’ desktops 

and mobile devices without adequately 

disclosing to users that the software 

would be installed. Google offers a web 

browser, Chrome, as a free download for 

desktop computer and mobile operating 

systems. The desktop-computer version 

of Chrome allows users to install 

‘‘browser extensions,’’ which are 

software programs that can modify and 

extend Chrome’s functionality. 

Respondents’ conduct had two parts. 

First, Respondents acquired a popular 

browser-based game called Running 

Fred and replaced it entirely with their 

own software program, called Weekly 

Android Apps, on users’ desktops. Users 

of Running Fred were not informed that 

the game had been replaced. Second, 

Weekly Android Apps contained code 

that would install, again without 

adequate disclosure to users, apps on 

user’s mobile devices. 

The proposed consent order contains 

provisions designed to prevent 

Respondents from engaging in similar 

acts or practices in the future. 

Part I of the proposed order prohibits 

Respondents from misrepresenting 

certain aspects of any browser 

extension, Web site, web service, mobile 

app, or any other product or service 

they offer or operate. Specifically, 

Respondents are prohibited from 

misrepresenting: The existence of 

certain endorsements; the nature of their 

products and services; the installation, 

download, usage, review, or 

endorsement statistics associated with 

their products and services; the press 

coverage of their products and services; 

their information collection, usage, 

disclosure, and sharing practices; the 

extent of user control over information 

about individual consumers; the 

purpose of collecting, using, disclosing, 

or sharing information about individual 

consumers; and the extent to which 

Respondents protect the privacy, 

confidentiality, security, and integrity of 

information collected from or about 

consumers. 

Part II of the proposed order requires 

Respondents to clearly and 

conspicuously disclose the types of 

information their products and services 

will access, how that information will 

be used, and the nature of any changes 

to Respondents’ products and services. 

The order also requires Respondents to 

display built-in permission notices or 

approvals, and to obtain consumer’s 

express affirmative consent prior to 

installation or material changes of any 

product or service. 

Part III of the proposed order requires 

Respondents to delete certain 

information collected about individual 

consumers within ten days of entry of 

the order. 

Part IV of the proposed order contains 

recordkeeping requirements for 

advertisements and substantiation 

relevant to representations covered by 

Parts I through III of the order. 

Parts V, VI, VII, and VIII of the 

proposed order require Respondents to: 

Deliver a copy of the order to certain 

personnel who have responsibilities 

with respect to the subject matter of the 

order; notify the Commission of changes 

in corporate structure that might affect 

compliance obligations under the order; 

notify the Commission of changes in the 

employment of Respondents Moiz and 

Hussain; and file compliance reports 

with the Commission. 

Part IX of the proposed order provides 

that the order will terminate after 

twenty (20) years, with certain 

exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order, and it is not intended 

to constitute an official interpretation of 

the complaint or proposed order, or to 

modify the proposed order’s terms in 

any way. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.
