Our Campaigns
Permanent profiles of anyone who uses the Internet are created by businesses and organizations. Our campaigns focus on middle-school youth and their increasing use of devices and online behaviors (search, homework, games, apps, etc,). The following campaigns were created as part of the Digital Trust Foundation grant. Each campaign involved California State University Northridge college undergraduates worked closely with middle-school youth to develop engaging storylines and information privacy concepts. We aim to educate youth with these campaign to enhance their safe online behaviors and increase their awareness of the third parties and databrokers who gather, store, package and sell personal profile information. Everyday is permanent and our youth are at risk when they unknowingly share information online.
