title = "Strengthening children{\textquoteright}s privacy literacy through contextual integrity",
abstract = "Researchers and policymakers advocate teaching children about digital privacy, but privacy literacy has not been theorized for children. Drawing on interviews with 30 families, including 40 children, we analyze children{\textquoteright}s perspectives on password management in three contexts—family life, friendship, and education—and develop a new approach to privacy literacy grounded in Nissenbaum{\textquoteright}s contextual integrity framework. Contextual integrity equates privacy with appropriate flows of information, and we show how children{\textquoteright}s perceptions of the appropriateness of disclosing a password varied across contexts. We explain why privacy literacy should focus on norms rather than rules and discuss how adults can use learning moments to strengthen children{\textquoteright}s privacy literacy. We argue that equipping children to make privacy-related decisions serves them better than instructing them to follow privacy-related rules.",
