Children’s Privacy and Age Assurance Across Borders
Episode 20
Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 45:52
Children’s privacy requires more than applying adult privacy rules to younger users. Age thresholds vary across jurisdictions, children may lack the legal capacity to consent to certain processing, and the methods used to identify young users can introduce additional privacy, security, and compliance risks. Addressing these challenges successfully requires coordinated decisions across legal, compliance, product and design, engineering, and trust and safety teams.
Hailun Ying, Head of Privacy and Security, Legal at Roblox, joins Kellie du Preez and Danie Strachan to discuss the global patchwork of children’s privacy laws, the practical challenges of age assurance, and why privacy-protective defaults need to be built into products from the beginning. Hailun also discusses why children’s privacy must be treated as a cross-functional responsibility rather than solely as a legal or compliance matter.
