Learning outcome
I can describe how data is collected, sold and used online and explain how to protect my sensitive data.
Key learning points
- When we use the Internet, data is often collected about us.
- Data includes our name, age, gender, location and photo.
- Social media sites monitor what we view, what we like, who we are friends with and which websites we visit.
- Our data is worth a lot of money because it can be used to target adverts at us.
- We can control how much data is collected about us.
Keywords

Monitor - collect information about someone
Internet Protocol (IP) address - a unique set of characters that identifies each computer that communicates over a network

Common misconception
All websites keep our data safe.
Some websites are more secure than others, but all data is at risk, up-to-date settings and passwords will help to protect this.
Teacher tip
Encouraging students to look at the settings for their school email account is a useful, real life way to model account settings.
