Education & Resources

education

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.

Teens Young Adults Parents and Kids

Data Privacy Day has also created an opportunity for governments, corporations and nonprofits to create resources to improve privacy awareness in a number of areas: technology, finance, health care, data security, and more.  Check into the pages located here for resources that could be helpful to you or your company.
