- www.epic.org/privacy/kids/(EPIC Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)
- www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs21-children.htm (“Children’s Privacy & Safety on the Internet” prepared by “Privacy Rights”)
- www.alrc.gov.au/inquiries/current/privacy/talk/flashsite.html (Australian Law Reform Commission, Talking Privacy – young people & privacy)
Other privacy commissioners’ offices also have information you might find useful.
- Look for things like fact sheets (they’re often short and easy to read) and specific
- sections on topics you’re interested in, like online privacy.
- For example, the Canadian Privacy Commissioner has some great fact sheets at www.privcom.gc.ca/information/02_06_01_e.asp
- So does the UK Information Commissioner at www.ico.gov.uk/for_the_public.aspx
