Overview
| Item | Content |

| Period | 2020s (app permissions, location/photo collection, privacy regulation) |
| Technology | Cloud photos, location history, app accounts, AI services |
| Literacy | Personal data protection, permission settings, deletion and backup, digital legacy |
Transition Point
Where 2010s “digital footprint” was a matter of careful disclosure, the 2020s is an era where your photos, location, and writing become training data. From “should I post this?” → the sense of “what, how far, to whom” as a design decision.
Literacy Improvement Mechanisms
- Permission checks: Why does this app want photos, camera, and location?
- Minimal disclosure: Handling children’s and participants’ faces in experience photos
- Backup and deletion: How to not lose things without leaving them behind
- Consent and notice: Getting consent before shooting and posting
Field Operation Tips
- Make photo consent confirmation procedures part of your operational know-how when documenting programs
- Output: one-page pre-publication checklist for activity photos
- Separate public channels from internal record channels
Implications for Paju Activist Training
- Practical law and ethics in programs for children and youth
- Understanding personal data handling requested when partnering with public institutions and schools
- Extends in the 2030s to discussions including AI training data
Notes
- The more convenient technology becomes, the more consent and minimal collection matter
