Parental Privacy: Protecting Your Child’s Data Online

By DataJive Editorial Team · Updated Oct 15, 2026 · 1 min read

Photos, school apps and games all collect data about children.

Limit what you share

  • Think before posting photos with names, uniforms or locations.
  • Keep social profiles private.

Set up devices

  • Create child accounts with age-appropriate settings.
  • Limit app permissions and location access.
  • Review privacy settings together.

Teach

Explain why not to share personal details and to ask before downloading apps.

Key takeaway: Share less, set strong defaults and talk with children about why privacy matters.
