Continuation of the "NetLa - My data belong to me!" campaign resolved
The Council for the Protection of Privacy will continue the national campaign on privacy and data protection on the Internet for children and adolescents, which was launched in 2011 under the slogan «NetLa – My Data Belongs to Me!».
The campaign is under the patronage of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner Hanspeter Thür. Since October 22, 2012, the campaign has continued with the campaign comic faces - and with the new "NetLa Quiz. This is intended to encourage playful discussion of one's own behavior on the Internet. Not only young people will find useful tips on how to deal with the topic, but parents and teachers can also download information, teaching materials and worksheets.
The positive response to the First Privacy Championship event at the Museum of Communication in Bern on December 10, 2011, moved those responsible at the Privacy Council to continue and further develop the campaign. "We want to continue to make children and young people aware of the need to handle their own data on the Internet consciously and carefully," explains Matthias Kummer, delegate of the Council for the Protection of Privacy. "Because these are often the easiest and most helpless victims of the most diverse machinations on the Internet. Education is needed." In its first year, the platform of the national privacy campaign recorded well over two and a half million page views in just eight months.
