Your Privacy Online & With AI 🔒

What Does AI Know About You?

Every app and AI tool collects data. Let's be honest about what they know:

| App | What it collects | |-----|-----------------| | TikTok | Every video you watch (+ for how long), location, device info | | Google | Every search, location history, websites visited | | ChatGPT | Everything you type in conversations | | Spotify | Every song played, skipped, replayed, at what time | | Instagram | Photos, who you follow, what you look at, location |

🚨 Things You Should NEVER Share With AI Tools

❌ Your full name + home address together ❌ Your school name + daily schedule ❌ Passwords or security codes ❌ Credit card or bank details ❌ Photos that show your location ❌ Personal problems about specific real people

✅ Things That Are Fine to Share

✅ General questions about any topic ✅ Help with school subjects (general, not "write my essay for me"!) ✅ Creative writing prompts ✅ Coding help ✅ Explanations of things you don't understand ✅ Ideas and brainstorming

👶 Why AI Tools Have Age Limits

Most big AI tools require users to be 13 or older (some 18+).

This isn't just a random rule — it's because:

• Laws like COPPA (USA) and GDPR (UK/Europe) give children special data protections
• Children's data requires extra care and parental consent
• Young users might share more personal info without realising the risks

📱 The "Sharing is Permanent" Rule

Once you share something online or with an AI:

Your message → AI processes it → May be stored ↓ May be reviewed by humans ↓ May be used to improve AI ↓ Very hard to delete! ⚠️

Think before you type! The internet has a long memory.

💡 Your Digital Footprint

Everything you do online creates a digital footprint — a trail of data.

In 10 years, future employers, universities, or even your own children might find things you posted today. Choose wisely!

Top tip: If you wouldn't want a teacher or parent to see it, don't send it to an AI either!
