Abstract(s)
The law has always recognized children’s special needs for protection.
Children are vulnerable also in relation to the processing of their data,
since they are less aware of risks emerging from data processing. The new
General Data Protection Regulation (General Data Protection Regulation
2016 (EU), GDPR) has strengthened children’s safety. Higher transparency
standards are now required. Any information offered should be in a clear
language that the child can easily understand. The right to be forgotten
is reinforced when a child has given her consent to data processing, but
later wishes to withdraw this consent. Children’s rights and freedoms
may override the interests of the controller and could render processing
unlawful. Minors below the age of 16 can consent only via a parent. This
chapter focuses on challenges posed by the new GDPR (General Data
Protection Regulation 2016 (EU)) and on potential benefits for children’s
rights to data protection.
