On 29 January 2024, the Spanish DPA (AEPD) released its global strategy on children, digital health and privacy (the Strategy), with the aim of promoting effective protection of children and adolescents in their use of the internet. The Strategy sets out 10 priority actions and 35 measures grouped into three categories:
- regulatory collaboration for the protection of children and adolescents on the internet;
- reinforcement (e.g. through promoting age verification apps, and providing families with digital training and resources) to guarantee minors’ rights; and
- investigative powers and sanctions against illicit and harmful practices.
The AEPD press release is available here (in Spanish only).
