“Privacy for Kids”: the EDPB launches a European platform to help children protect their privacy online

On 4 November 2026, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) launched “Privacy for Kids”, a new hub that brings together educational resources created by data protection authorities across Europe, including the CNPD. It is aimed at parents, teachers and educators.

Children are particularly vulnerable online. They do not always recognise the risks, may trust strangers too easily or share personal information without understanding the consequences. Many apps also collect their data. Without adequate safeguards, children can be exposed to harmful content and leave lasting digital footprints.

To address these challenges, the European data protection authorities, working together within the EDPB, have created a shared space. It offers fun, child-friendly tools such as games, videos, quizzes, infographics and awareness campaigns to help young people understand what online privacy means.

A search tool to find the right resource

Guided by Eddy the beaver and his friends, users can filter content by:

  • age group: 3–10, 11–15, and 16 and over;
  • country of origin: the 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway;
  • topic: sharing online, social media, smartphones and apps, privacy at home and at school, cyberbullying, smart toys, online rights, etc.;
  • format: projects, information campaigns, games, infographics, videos, quizzes and more.

Resources are available in several languages, and the hub’s interface can be viewed in English, French, German and many other European languages.

Luxembourg in the spotlight with Leonora

Among the featured resources is Leonora, a series of interactive games and activities for teenagers aged 11 and over. Available in French, English and German, it covers data protection, privacy on social media, cyberbullying and responsible digital habits.

Explore and share

The CNPD invites parents, teachers and everyone working in education to explore the platform and to share with young people the short introductory video featuring Eddy and his crew. In a light-hearted way, it recalls a few essential rules: don’t share personal information, think before you post, ask your parents if you’re unsure, and learn how to deal with cookies.
