Children enjoy specific protection under the GDPR, as they are among the most vulnerable individuals when it comes to safeguarding their personal data.
Organisations should take extra care when processing children’s personal data. Notably, they should ensure that information provided is clear, easy to understand, age-appropriate; ideally, it should include visual elements to enhance transparency and accessibility.
Moreover, the protection of personal data should be ensured when organisations put in place age assurance mechanisms.
