Description: Youth data privacy refers to the protection of minors’ personal information in digital environments. In an increasingly interconnected world, where young people interact with various online platforms, the security of their data has become a primary concern. This privacy involves not only the protection of sensitive data, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, but also the management of the information that minors share on social media, applications, and websites. Youth data privacy is based on fundamental principles such as informed consent, data minimization, and transparency in the use of information. Implementing robust security measures is essential to prevent unauthorized access and misuse of minors’ data. Additionally, education about digital privacy is crucial to empower young people and their families, helping them understand the risks associated with exposing their personal information online. In this context, the Zero Trust security approach emerges as an effective strategy, where it is assumed that no entity, whether internal or external, should be trusted by default, necessitating continuous verification of identity and access to data. This approach is particularly relevant for protecting youth privacy, as it promotes a safer and more controlled digital environment.
