Privacy Protection of Children in Cyberspace_ Compliance with GDPR Regulations

Abstract

. Abstract Currently, the application of GDPR in the children's game industry is recognized as a pragmatic choice. The GDPR has specific provisions about the processing of personal data concerning children and related matters but also faces many challenges in real-life social implementation. Now children's game enterprises do not have mature compliance systems and self-protection awareness needs to be fostered. Besides, there are still many different opinions on whether to implement more compliant processes and system practices than those required by the GDPR. These findings have practical implications for the child game industry and policy implications related to business environment data protection. Methods: In this study, we reviewed a master dissertation together with compliance statements from operators running children’s games; followed by conducting deep interviews among four operators aiming at investigating the process of implementation while reflecting on enterprise self-compliance.
