Representatives of the NCPDP set up a stand with educational and informative materials and promotional articles, and the general public was informed about the field of personal data protection. Among the topics addressed that showed increased interest, we can list: the notion of personal data, the rights of data subjects, data security and confidentiality measures, the principles of personal data protection, etc. Citizens were informed about possible situations of non-compliant processing of personal data, being offered practical guidelines and recommendations that should be undertaken in such cases. At the same time, children were informed about adopting responsible and safe behavior in the digital space in order to browse the internet safely and ethically, reducing their vulnerability to online threats. Children played interactive games, completed a crossword puzzle and participated in the question-answer round, being awarded with appropriate gifts.
