Personal Information & Privacy

Children share information online every day. Their name, birthday, school, photos, location, hobbies, friends and favourite activities can all become part of their digital world, often without them realising that these details are personal information.

Understanding personal information and online privacy is one of the most important foundations of digital safety. Children need to learn not only what personal information is, but why it matters, how seemingly harmless details can reveal more than expected, and how to make safer decisions about what they share online.

In this collection of Personal Information & Privacy articles, you'll find practical advice to help parents teach children about privacy in a way that is simple, age-appropriate and relevant to their everyday online lives.

Explore topics including what counts as personal information, what children should and shouldn't share online, school and location information, photos and videos, privacy settings, social media safety, digital footprints and how separate pieces of information can be combined to reveal more about a child.

The goal isn't to stop children from enjoying the internet or make them afraid to share. It's to give them the knowledge and habits they need to stop, think and make informed decisions before they post.

Because protecting personal information isn't just about keeping secrets.

It's about helping children understand the value of their privacy and giving them the skills to protect it.
