Abstract

Cable News Network recently reported that today’s children will spend an average of 23 years of their lifetime connected to the Internet. The Department of Education reports that 100% of teens today have Internet access at school. Currently, no laws protecting teens from the collection of their personal data (known or unknown) while online exist. The personal information they post today can be collected today—or 20 years from now and can be used against them when they seek employment or apply for health insurance. This study examines the issue of adolescent consumer privacy protection from the perspective of those entities responsible for protecting and educating them about safe Internet use (educators, marketers, and policy makers). An analysis of transcripts from an expert panel (collected via telephone interview) is used to determine who is responsible for protecting teens’ privacy and how to accomplish this task.
