I support the intent behind Amendment 39, which rightly recognises that children are entitled to a higher standard of protection regarding their personal data. We agree that children’s data requires special consideration at different stages of their development, as they may not fully understand the risks or consequences associated with the processing of their data. This principle is fundamental to safeguarding their rights. Again, though, while we support the overall intent of the amendment, we have concerns about the explicit reference to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and general comment 25, as per my comments on the previous amendment.
