IEEE Std 2089:2021 pdf download.IEEE Standard for an Age Appropriate Digital Services Framework Based on the 5Rights Principles for Children.
IEEE Std 2089 is the first in a family of standards focused on the 5Rights principles and establishes a set of processes for developing age appropriate digital services for situations where users are children. The framework centers around the following key areas as follows:
a) Recognition that the user is a child
b) Consideration for the capacity of and upholds the rights of children
c) Offers terms appropriate to children
d) Presents information in an age appropriate way
e) Offers a level of validation for service design decisions
This standard provides a specific impact rating system and evaluation criteria and explains how vendors, public institutions, and the educational sector can meet the criteria.
This standard sets normative requirements for published terms, design, and delivery that can recognize and respond to the needs of children and young people.
Data privacy and security are complex and highly regulated areas of law, particularly as related to children and young people. The relevant legal definitions and requirements are rapidly evolving, and may vary at the local, state, national, and regional level. No standard can provide unconditional consistency with all such laws and regulations. Users of this standard are responsible for referring to and observing all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and should refer questions of compliance to competent legal counsel with expertise in the relevant jurisdiction.
1.2 Purpose
This standard provides a set of processes for digital services when end users are children, and, by doing so, aids in the tailoring of the services that are provided so that they arc age appropriate. This is essential to creating a digital environment that supports. by design and delivery, children safety, privacy, autonomy, agency, and health, specifically providing a set of guidelines and best practices and thereby offering a level of validation for service design decisions.
1.3 Use of the standard
The standard describes the set of processes by which engineers and technologists can consider children’s rights and needs throughout the stages of concept exploration and development. It provides implernentable processes to help align innovation management to make processes, system design approaches. and software engineering methods age appropriate and, in doing so, reduce risk and, wherever possible, amplify the benefits of the digital world for end users under the age of 18.
The standard sits on the values of 5Rights Foundation’s principles and reflects the rights of children under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Many digital systems impact children in intended or unintended ways and, therefore, should take them into account. All organizations for which that is the case are encouraged to use this standard to help make that engagement age appropriate. This standard can be used to create services that build the digital world that children deserve.
Before using this standard, it is necessary to consider that your product or service is likely to be accessed by children or engage with children either directly, indirectly, or deliberately in the course of their operations. Data analytics, independent research, research about similar services and products, or research from surveys and research with children may help identify if and how your products, services, or systems engage with children andlor their data. In each case, if children use your services and/or if you collect children’s data; this standard aims to help organizations create services that benefit children. This standard is based on the foundation that the ‘best interests’ (see Clause 3) of the child are placed in primary focus during the design of digital services.IEEE Std 2089 pdf download.
