Spain: AEPD joins awareness initiative on risks for minors on internet

On May 24, 2023, the Spanish data protection authority (AEPD) announced that it joined the European Association for Digital Transition's initiative to raise awareness on, and guide parents through, the risks minors face on the internet. The objective of the initiative is to encourage a more active role for parents in the online activity of minors, alerting them to its risks and peculiarities of some business models, based on the commercialization and profiling of data from children and adolescents.

The initiative assembles information for parents and minors on its website, including practical advice for the latter to navigate the digital space and information management, as well as pointing to the AEPD's Priority Channel to request the urgent removal of sexual or violent content published without the consent of affected individuals.

You can read the press release here and access the initiative here, both only available in Spanish.
