Section 81(2)

After paragraph 1 insert— In the case of processing carried out in the course of providing information society services which are likely to be accessed by children, when assessing what are appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with paragraph 1, the controller must take into account the children’s higher protection matters. The children’s higher protection matters are— how children can best be protected and supported when using the services, and the fact that children— merit specific protection with regard to their personal data because they may be less aware of the risks and consequences associated with processing of personal data and of their rights in relation to such processing, and have different needs at different ages and at different stages of development.
