Digital by default: children's capacity to understand and manage online data and privacy
Abstract: How do children understand the privacy implications of the contemporary digital environment? This question is pressing as technologies transform children's lives into data which is recorded, tracked, aggregated, analysed and monetized. This article takes a child-centred, qualitative approach to charting the nature and limits of children’s understanding of privacy in digital contexts. We conducted focus group interviews with 169 UK children aged 11-16 to explore their understanding of privacy in three distinct digital contexts-interpersonal, institutional and commercial. We find, first, that children primarily conceptualize privacy in relation to interpersonal contexts, conceiving of personal information as something they have agency and control over as regards deciding when and with whom to share it, even if they do not always exercise such control. This leads them to some misapprehensions about how personal data is collected, inferred and used by organizations, be these public ins
