Recital 38
(38) Tá cosaint ar leith dlite do leanaí i dtaca lena sonraí pearsanta toisc go bhféadfar nach bhfuil siad chomh heolach sin ar na rioscaí, na hiarmhairtí agus na coimircí lena mbaineann ná ar a gcearta féin i ndáil lena sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil.
Ba cheart feidhm a bheith ag cosaint ar leith den sórt sin, go háirithe, le húsáid sonraí pearsanta leanaí chun críocha na margaíochta nó chun próifílí pearsantachta nó úsáideora a chruthú agus sonraí pearsanta i ndáil le leanaí a bhailiú agus seirbhísí atá á dtairiscint go díreach do leanbh á n-úsáid.
Níor cheart é a bheith riachtanach toiliú shealbhóir na freagrachta tuismitheora a fháil i gcomhthéacs seirbhísí coisctheacha nó comhairliúcháin a thairgtear go díreach do leanbh.
(38) Children merit specific protection with regard to their personal data, as they may be less aware of the risks, consequences and safeguards concerned and their rights in relation to the processing of personal data.
Such specific protection should, in particular, apply to the use of personal data of children for the purposes of marketing or creating personality or user profiles and the collection of personal data with regard to children when using services offered directly to a child.
The consent of the holder of parental responsibility should not be necessary in the context of preventive or counselling services offered directly to a child.
