Privacy And Young People – Is Your Organization Doing Enough?

Young people's privacy is an important and complex issue in our digital age. Young people have the right to keep their personal information private, but they also face many challenges and risks when they use online platforms and services.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada highlighted the importance of privacy protections for young Canadians in a recent resolution.

In the resolution, the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Privacy Commissioners and Ombuds emphasized that the Canadian government and organizations need to do more to protect young people from well-documented harms (such as mental health-related harms) with respect to products and services that concern or impact young people in a digital environment.
