The US Department of Transportation (DOT) announced it will review how customers’ personal Information is being handled by major airlines, and whether information collected is being shared with third parties. The airlines, including American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United, will also be evaluated based on how they, their employees and contractors are trained to handle passengers’ data and enforcement actions would be pursued if appropriate.

France passed the Children’s Image Rights Law to protect children by minimizing risks from parents or guardians sharing kids’ photos and videos and from those images being disseminated. Different from laws such as the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, which focuses on data processing and sales, this looks to reduce risk of exposure and reinforces the importance of protecting children, even when they are too young to advocate for themselves. It reinforces rights to access the images, ensures rectification, erasure, and the right to object how personal images are used.
