Data Protection Guides for Children

The Data Protection Commission (DPC) has produced three short guides for children on data protection and their rights under the GDPR.

These guides are aimed mainly at children aged 13 and over, as this is the age at which children can begin signing up for many forms of social media on their own. These guides will not only help children keep their data safe, but will also be useful for parents, educators and anyone interested in children’s safety and wellbeing online.

Data protection – what’s it all about?

This guide introduces children and young people to the idea of personal data and data protection, and why it’s important for them to know about it.

My data protection rights

Each of these short guides introduces children to a different data protection right and how to use it. These guides can be read together or separately.
