Protecting children’s data

Just like adults, children may be at risk of having their online identity stolen and misused.

It can be difficult to maintain a child’s privacy as they may not understand what information is safe to share online, or what default privacy settings are on the sites and devices they’re using.

Explore our advice hub to learn more about what practical tools you can use to stay in control of your child’s data online.
