In our daily lives, we often don’t realize that we’re sharing data in most of our interactions. Even though it may seem somewhat removed from our day-to-day lives, this data is more prevalent than we realize, and when it comes to children and adolescents, it’s not much different.

According to the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) — Law No. 13,709/2018 — personal data relating to children and adolescents must be handled with great attention, special care, and total commitment and responsibility.

Even if we aren’t very familiar with or knowledgeable about the subject, the reality is that the online environment has increasingly become the primary means of interaction. That is precisely why we need to protect the data of children and adolescents more than ever.

With that in mind, Alessandra Borelli—a lawyer and mother of two teenagers—wrote Brazil’s first ebook on this topic. You can read the book in its entirety—now available for free exclusively here on the Bett Blog!

“Children and adolescents, as I always say, despite their surprising skill with various digital devices and tools, are naturally physiologically immature and understandably lack discernment; they are unable to understand—or even notice—that the data ‘offered’ in exchange for using services constitutes a significant source of monetary value. It is therefore up to us, as adults who interact with them—whether as relatives or in a professional capacity—to protect them.”

The book “It’s Time: Data Protection for Children and Adolescents Can’t Wait” was written by attorney Alessandra Borelli and is being exclusively previewed here on the Bett Blog; it also has the support and endorsement of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics
