Privacy when collecting data

Consider privacy when collecting data from users: collect only the data needed, tell people why it is collected, ask permission, avoid identifying details where possible, and store and share results safely

Lesson

Set out your lesson

“Privacy when collecting data means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”

Bring to the table

  • A paper “account card” (username blank) and sticky notes
  • Pencil
Extra for the adult

Worked example. Sharing a school photo location publicly is not safe — it shows where you are.

Optional challenge. For Privacy when collecting data, add one harder example after success.

What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Privacy when collecting data, not mastery.

Privacy when collecting data means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.

Materials: A paper “account card” (username blank) and sticky notes; Pencil. 1. Say the goal of Privacy when collecting data in plain words once. 2. Adult models one safe choice (strong password pattern or what not to share) and says why. 3. Child sorts three situations into safe / not-safe and gives a reason each time. 4. Fresh check: one fresh privacy choice with a reason. Record and stop. Done: three safe/not-safe sorts with a reason each. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding

  • Review a draft class survey and remove questions that collect unnecessary personal data (e.g. full name, address)
  • Write a short privacy note for a survey explaining what data is collected, why and who will see it, and ask for permission
  • Explain how to keep survey results private (e.g. share only totals, store them in a protected folder)
“If your child made an online survey for their class, would they only ask for what they need, explain why, and keep people's answers private?”
