The European Cyber Security COmmunity Project (ECCO), led by ECSO and in support of the ECCC, announces a new knowledge-sharing webinar focused on parental engagement in protecting children’s online privacy, taking place on 16 September 2024 at 11:15 – 12:15. This online discussion is organised by the ECCO Community Group on Human Factors.

Summary 

This webinar will address the urgent and critical issue of protecting children’s personal data in the digital age. As the collection of children’s data continues to increase, many parents are finding it challenging to safeguard their children’s online privacy—often due to a lack of knowledge and awareness. This highlights an essential need for privacy literacy training specifically designed for parents. The primary objective of this webinar is to shed light on the unique challenges faced by parents and to explore potential avenues for future research and EU coordinated activities.

We will listen to insights from our expert speaker, Ann-Kristin Lieberknecht, a doctoral candidate at Goethe University Frankfurt specialising in online privacy and its impact on families. Her research focuses on helping parents navigate and mitigate online privacy risks for their children and aims at creating a safer digital environment for families.
