https://doi.org/10.17803/2542-2472.2025.35.3.027-039
Abstract
The paper addresses pressing issues in the legal regulation of the digital foot-print of minors amid the rapid development of digital technologies, particularly in the context of smart toys and internet-connected devices. It analyzes key international and Russian approaches to protecting children’s personal data, identifying legal risks and gaps inherent in modern technological solutions. Special attention is given to the need for comprehensive regulation that integrates legislative provisions, technical standards, and effective state and public oversight. The authors propose measures to improve legislation and practices for safeguarding the digital footprint of minors in the Russian Federation, taking into account relevant foreign experience.
