Section outline

  • In this fifth and final step in the 'Your right to privacy online' course you will gain these three learning outcomes:

    1: Describe and discuss the different aspects of privacy.

    2. Identify and evaluate the way personal data is collected whilst navigating the web and using apps on smart devices.

    3. Understand the rights to privacy arising from charters to protect our data.

    This step will also provide an opportunity to gain experiential learning: learn through exploring websites you visit, and apps you use, to find what digital trackers, if any, are in those websites and apps.

    To recap what we have learnt so far:

    ·      In step1 we were introduced to the concept of ‘privacy’

    ·      In step2 we learnt that ‘personal data’ refers to a living person

    ·      In step3 we learnt about some of the ways our data can be captured online (e.g. through cookies)

    ·      In step4 we learnt about the different charters and regulations that give you right to privacy

    In this step we will find out what tools are available online to protect our data and our privacy.
