The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) is pleased to launch its new Think Digital Privacy video series.
Created to help young people navigate today’s digital world, the series encourages youth to pause, think critically about their online activities, and make informed decisions about their personal information.
This series was shaped by conversations with young people about their online experiences, privacy concerns, and the challenges they face when sharing information online. Their insights helped inform the topics and scenarios featured throughout the series, resulting in content that we believe is relevant and relatable to youth.
OIPC encourages everyone to watch, share, and discuss our video series with the young people in their lives.

“Every day, young people are making decisions about their personal information, often without realizing the long-term impact those decisions can have,” said Information and Privacy Commissioner Kerry Hatfield. “As students settle into the school year, we encourage them to take a few moments to think about their digital privacy and the steps they can take to protect themselves online. We hope these videos spark conversations among students, parents, caregivers, educators, and organizations about the importance of protecting personal information in today’s digital world.”
