🤔 Reflect on their own digital habits and evaluate how their data is handled by apps, websites, and institutions
🛡 Discover their rights under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in a youth-friendly way
💬 Answer thought-provoking questions to connect EU law with everyday digital experiences

Olaf's Maze
The Olaf Maze game provides an engaging and interactive way to learn about data protection and privacy rights in the European Union, with a specific focus on safeguarding these principles. As you navigate through the maze, you’ll face real-world scenarios that challenge your understanding of data security and how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to everyday situations. This activity highlights the commitment to ensuring personal data is handled responsibly and securely.
