Education & Resources

A vast majority of teens and young adults use the internet – for school, for communication, and in their personal lives. More than 55% of online American teens between 12 and 17 use social networks. More than 50% of all 9-11 year old and at least 63% of 13-17 year olds carry cell phones. Young people routinely share a variety of personal information online and via mobile devices, including: photos, birth dates, email addresses, phone numbers, journal entries and social plans. Once information is shared, it is very difficult to take it back. It is a goal of Data Privacy Day to educate teens and young adults about who may access their personal information online; how their personal information may be collected, used and stored; and how they can take steps to protect that information while enjoying the benefits of all the internet and mobile devices have to offer.
Here, you can find a variety of educational materials and resources: for teens, young adults, parents and kids. You can use these materials to give presentations or start discussions in classrooms, or to increase your own awareness of privacy issues.
