Demystifying the Age Appropriate Design Code

The Age Appropriate Design Code, or the Children’s Code, is a crucial piece of legislation, providing companies with practical guidance on how to design data protection safeguards for children into online services.

This child-friendly document, Demystifying the Age Appropriate Design Code, explains how the Code ensures websites and apps are safe, requiring companies to provide privacy-friendly settings, use clear language, and avoid nudging young users into giving up too much personal information.
