Abstract—Apart from the positive effects οf smart homes, such as economic, energy, and security enhancements, and the focus on their efficiency and reliability, it should also be paid attention to the legal, ethical and social impacts of these ICT systems. The field of children’s data protection is challenging, as they are likely more vulnerable to online risks, and as a result, their protection requires a specialized privacy-preserving scheme. This research work addresses the crucial issues of minors’ data protection, from a European law perspective, through IoT-based devices inside a smart home environment.
