Children's Data Protection Guides

13th Aug 2024

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

The purpose of these guides is to explain to children in language they can easily understand what data protection is and why it’s important, what their data protection rights are and how to use them, and to give children practical advice on how to keep their personal data safe in the digital environment.

These guides are aimed mainly at children aged 13 and over, as this is the typical signup age for many forms of social media.
