Privacy for School Children and Young Adults
We are thrilled to introduce the "Privacy Program for Young Adults and School Children," a transformative initiative by the Technology Counsel Foundation (TECOF). This program is dedicated to educating young minds about the critical issues surrounding data sharing and its profound impact on privacy and mental health.
