Collection and Use of Personal Data through the Internet – Points to Note for Data Users Targeting at Children / December 2015
Privacy controls (or dashboards)
Data users should consider providing a single place on their online platform for children to find out what personal
data has been collected or maintained.
Best Practice Tips
• Data users may provide a “dashboard” for children to see, change and remove all the postings (where
applicable) and the personal data collected. The same dashboard may also include all the privacy
related settings (such as whether the children allow certain personal data to be used, shared or seen by
others) for ease of use; and
• Especially for younger children, data users may extend such dashboards to parents so that they can help
younger children to manage their own personal data privacy.
