Bhārata's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) and European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on handling of children's data: 1. Definition of a Child : The DPDP defines a child as anyone under 18, while the GDPR sets the age range for children between 13 and 16, varying by member state. 2. Consent Requirements : The DPDP requires verifiable parental consent for processing children's data, explicitly banning practices that could harm their well-being, similar to the GDPR's parental consent requirement. 3. Prohibition of Certain Processing : The DPDP prohibits processing children's data for targeted advertising or behavioral tracking, focusing on child welfare, while the GDPR emphasizes compliance with its principles without specific prohibitions. note : The DPDP has not been enforced yet because the government has not issued the rules. source - Perplexity AI
