EDPB helps kids stay safe online - featuring IDPC Children's Campaign material

European Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) work together to protect personal data, especially for children who are more vulnerable online. Kids may not recognise risks easily, trust strangers, or share personal data carelessly. Many apps collect their data, and without proper safeguards, they could be exposed to harmful content and leave long-lasting digital footprints.

This is why the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) launched ‘Privacy for Kids’, a new hub for parents, teachers, and educators. It provides engaging and children friendly resources such as games, videos and quizzes, to understand online privacy.

The website features Eddy the beaver and his friends will guide you through materials from DPAs from all over Europe, available in different languages - including Malta.

At the IDPC, we are committed to empowering young people with the knowledge they need to stay safe online through our Data Protection for Children campaign, which includes educational resources and lesson plans designed to help children understand how to protect their personal data and navigate digital spaces responsibly.
