Privacy is part of safety. A person can be safer when cameras are used properly, but people can feel unsafe if cameras are used to spy or embarrass. Your mission is to protect safety and privacy at the same time.

Your mission brief

  1. Sort camera locations into okay, maybe and not okay.
  2. Explain why bedrooms and bathrooms are private.
  3. Write a respectful footage rule.
Safety rule: A junior detective notices and reports. A trusted adult decides what to do next.

Mission activity

Read each card. Choose the best action, then reveal the answer.

Something looks wrong

You notice a door is open when it is usually closed.

Tell a trusted adult. Do not go looking around alone.

Technology asks for a code

An app asks for a password or verification code.

Ask an adult before entering or sharing any code.

Privacy question

A camera could see more than the entry it is meant to protect.

Adjust the angle or ask an adult to check privacy.
