The Office of the Private Commissioner has released private i, a privacy survival guide for young people, on topics including:

• online social networking
• identity theft
• scanning of ID documents at pubs and clubs
• ‘blacklists'
• online shopping
• dealing with telemarketers
• responding to requests for personal information.

It also discusses the pitfalls to avoid, and where to get help if your privacy has been affected.
