Kavi's Secret Box

Kavi keeps a little box of treasures — a photo, a note with Kavi's address, a drawing a friend made. One day a shiny new app asked, "Can I look inside your box?" Grandma leaned over. "That box is your personal data, Kavi — things about you. And you have rights over it: you can ask what they want, say no, or ask them to give it back." A moment later Kavi almost posted the friend's drawing online. Grandma smiled gently. "That one isn't yours to share. Ask your friend first — that's called getting their consent. And if they ever say stop, you stop." Kavi nodded and whispered, my box, my rules — and I respect everyone else's box too.

What your child will learn

1Your personal data and the rights you have over itPersonal data is any information about you that could identify you — your name, photo, address, messages or location. Because it is yours, you have rights over it. Tap each right to learn what it lets you do.
2Two ways to handle a friend's photoConsent means someone freely agrees, knowing what they are agreeing to. Other people's data deserves the same care as your own. Tap each card to hear the difference.
3Does this respect privacy and consent, or ignore it?Asking first, letting people say no, and protecting data all respect privacy and consent. Sharing without asking or snooping ignores them. Tap the right box for each one.
4Can you take data back once it is shared?Kavi shares a friend's photo, then wishes it were gone. Predict what can still happen, then reveal.
