Discuss that some websites and apps store their personal data online — names, photos, voice recordings, game scores and location — so the information stays there and may be seen by others
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Apps store my data online means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A paper “account card” (username blank) and sticky notes

Extra for the adult
Worked example. Sharing a school photo location publicly is not safe — it shows where you are.
Optional challenge. For Apps store my data online, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Apps store my data online, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Name personal data a familiar app or game asks for or keeps (e.g. a username, a photo, a score, a location)
- Explain that this data is stored on computers far away (online), not just on their own device
- Discuss with a trusted adult whether an app really needs the data it asks for before agreeing
“When a game or app asks for your child's name, photo or location, do they understand it gets saved online somewhere — and check with you before typing it in?”
