MMA welcomes the opportunity to provide this submission to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for its report on the challenges and risks regarding discrimination and the unequal enjoyment of the right to privacy associated with the collection and processing of data.

Privacy is both a standalone right and a foundational enabler of other rights, including freedom of expression, dignity, and autonomy. This submission focuses on the implications of AI-driven data processing, particularly in relation to children's privacy rights, transparency, and digital governance.
