Abstract
As children's participation in online activities has recently increased, online services for children are also rapidly increasing, but children are not sufficiently guaranteed their rights. The purpose of this study is to classify and analyze issues related to the children's online privacy issues in Korea through the current status and case studies of application services mainly used by children. For this purpose, this research analyzed problems related to the children's online privacy protection according to the stage of using the application. As a result of the application content analysis, 1) issues of child identification, 2) effectiveness of notice and consent, and 3) issues of children's rights as subjects of information were derived. Based on the current status analysis, the policy implications were drawn based on the children's online privacy protection in the online environment, and suggestions were made for improvement.
