We collect data all the time! In schools, in apps, in games — even when you fill in your name online. But how exactly is data collected?
📱 Digital Collection Methods
📝 Forms — when you sign up or answer questions
🎮 Games — when you play, they collect your score or level
📦 Online shops — what you buy or search
📍 Phones — collect your location (with permission!)
💡 Tip: Some apps ask for your data. Always ask an adult before accepting!
👀 Observing and Measuring
Not all data is typed! Sometimes we collect data by:
👁️ Watching how people use a website
🎤 Listening to sounds or speech
📷 Capturing images or video
📚 Did you know? Some websites use “cookies” to remember what you clicked!
🔐 Be Smart with Data
It’s okay to share data — but only when it’s safe. Never give out private information like your home address or password without help from a trusted adult.
