\u201cSafe Space: A Kid\u2019s Guide to Data Privacy,\u201d a book developed and published by Globe and non-profit Center for Art, New Ventures & Sustainable Development (CANVAS), has won as one of the best reads at the 7th National Children\u2019s Book Awards (NCBA), the country\u2019s premier award for locally-published children and young adult books.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>A board of experts from the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY), a non-profit organization committed to the development of children\u2019s literature, selected the book as one of the winners after evaluating titles published in the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity book introduces the concept of personal data to children aged 6 to 12 and teaches them how to protect themselves online. It breaks down in child-friendly language the importance of keeping personal data secure, how such information may be compromised, what children and parents can do to avoid becoming a victim, and how to address similar concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was written by Gigo Alampay, an expert in ICT law and policy and also founder and Executive Director of CANVAS, a non-profit organization that works with the creative community to promote children’s literacy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>\u201cGlobe has launched various initiatives to demonstrate its commitment to privacy and security awareness, not only among adults but also among children. It is important that children understand the concept of data privacy from a young age, so we decided to do it in a fun way to keep them engaged,\u201d said Globe\u2019s Chief Privacy Officer Irish Salandanan-Almeida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>“Using the internet is inevitable nowadays, even for children, and along with it comes potential exposure to harm and exploitation. CANVAS, along with our partners at Globe, have created a way for children to become more aware of data privacy at an early age. \u201cSafe Space: A Kids Guide to Data Privacy\u201d uses fun and light language and imagery to explain the complex concepts of data privacy and security to children,” said Alampay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
