The Data Protection Commission (DPC) has recently published four short guides for parents/guardians on children’s data protection rights under the GDPR. These guides are intended to help parents/guardians to understand their children’s rights and to answer questions that can arise in typical situations where those rights apply.

This will help to ensure that more parents/guardians have the opportunity to read them and learn about their children’s data protection rights. The DPC hopes that these guides will also be useful to educators and anyone interested in children’s safety and wellbeing online.

English and Irish language versions of the guides can be found on the DPC website by clicking on the following links. More information on each of the guides is included below:
