Objective: The worksheet raises learners' awareness of protecting their privacy when using artificial intelligence. The aim is to develop a deep understanding of what “personal data” is, the risks involved in sharing it, and how to protect oneself from misuse through targeted security rules.

Content and methods: The content includes an age-appropriate introduction to sensitive personal data, the risks involved in the digital space, and the conscious use of passwords, apps, and one's own digital footprint. This is supplemented by case studies on data misuse and the development of specific security rules for everyday life. Methods include visual image analysis, multiple-choice tasks to consolidate knowledge, active categorization exercises, scenario-based case studies, and creative group work such as designing security posters to promote reflection and decision-making skills.

Competencies:

• Media literacy: Developing an awareness of one's “digital footprint” and protecting one's identity online
• Risk perception: Ability to recognize potential dangers such as identity theft or unauthorized data transfer via apps
• Action competence: Formulation and application of practical safety rules for everyday digital life
• Critical thinking: Questioning the trustworthiness of applications, even if they promise useful functions

Target group and level: From grade 7 and above
