QuestionQ239

Foundational Principles

In jurisdictions that legally protect children online, privacy controls should be put in place in each of the following circumstances EXCEPT?

  • A A virtual jigsaw puzzle game marketed for ages 5-9 displays pieces of the puzzle on a handheld screen. Once the child completes a certain level, it flashes a message about new themes released that day.
  • B A child logs in to a system to use an interactive toy that copies the child’s behavior through gestures and kid-friendly sounds.
  • C A math tutoring service commissioned an advertisement on a bulletin board inside a school. The service makes it simple for children to reach out to tutors by entering a through a QR-code through their school account.
  • D A note-taking application converts hard copies of kids’ class notes into audio books in seconds and stores a copy in the cloud in the students’ account.
Explanation

Children’s privacy protections apply to processing identifiable information, behavioral information, school-account information, and stored educational content. A general message announcing new game themes does not, by itself, collect, use, store, or disclose a child’s personal data.
