It is true that the General Data Protection Law also applies to the data of children and adolescents.
Nowadays, we see more and more children and teenagers with a large amount of personal data exposed due to the widespread use of digital media.
In this sense, the Superior Court of Justice ruled on Special Appeal No. 1,783,269-MG, through which it was decided that the internet application provider is civilly liable for moral damages if, after being formally notified of an offensive publication of a minor’s image, it fails to delete it, regardless of the existence of a court order.
The decision was based on the dignity of children and adolescents protected by the Child Statute and
of Adolescents (ECA).
