Achievement Unlocked: A National Applied Privacy Literacy Intervention in Online Gaming Ecosystems

Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

$97,500.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 10, 2026 - Mar 31, 2027

Description:

Researchers will map gaming data practices to principles under PIPEDA including meaningful consent, safeguards, transparency, accountability and data minimizations. They will then measure youth understanding of commercial data practices in gaming environments. Finally, they will translate the privacy principles into structured, bilingual classroom learning delivered nationally through the Digital Moment platform, reaching approximately 15,000 unique students and up to 500 educators nationally. Researchers will analyze anonymized aggregate participation data to identify patterns, trends and disparities in privacy literacy across age groups and regions.

Organization:

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

Expected Results:

The intended goal is to increase awareness and understanding of privacy rights and obligations in the gaming sphere by implementing a structured privacy literacy program for grades 6-12 across 1,100 schools. Findings will be shared through a national privacy literacy report, a webinar presentation to educators and stakeholders and distributed through Digital Moment and ChatterHigh’s respective educator networks.
