    your phone number or email, your photos and videos and even details about what
                      you like or do online.

                      Your Personal Data is like your digital footprint. It is all the information that can be

                      used to identify you online and in the real world.

                      Every time you use the Internet, play online games or even use apps on a phone
                      or tablet, you share some information about yourself. This information can be your
                      name, age, address, phone number or even your photos. This information is called

                      personal data.

                      Types of Personal Data

                      Some common types of personal data are as follows:

                          Your full name: Your full name is part of your personal data because it identifies

                           who you are. For example, your first name, middle name (if you have one) and
                           last name.

                          Your  school  name and  grade:  Your school name and grade are personal
                           data because they tell others where you study and your level. For example,

                           “Greenwood Primary School, Grade 4.”

                          Your home address: Your home address is personal data because it shows
                           where you live. For example, “12 Rose Street, Delhi.”

                          Your phone number or email ID: Your phone number or email ID is personal
                           data  because  it  helps people  contact  you. For example,  “07700 123456”  or

                           “emma.smith@email.com”
