Abstract

Last week saw the coming into effect of the Age Appropriate Design Code. Also known as the ‘Children’s Code’, it is the first statutory Code of practice for children’s data protection in the world. This first-of-its-kind legislation gives children high privacy for their personal data and instructs companies to change features that use data to expose children to risks data. The introduction of the Code sits squarely with the aim of the Digital Futures Commission, especially our proposal for Playful by Design, the work on governance of education data, and provides a valuable framework for our future work on guidance for innovators in children’s best interests.
