Irish DPC publishes guides on children's data protection rights

Ireland's Data Protection Commission published four guides for parents on children's data protection rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The guides outline the basics of children's data protection rights, when parental consent may be needed for processing children's data, advice on how parents can protect their children's data, and limits to exercising children's data protection rights. The DPC said the guides are meant to help parents understand their children's rights "and to answer questions that can arise in typical situations where those rights apply."
