Answer: Sharing their photos without permission, revealing their personal information, forwarding private messages, or using their data in ways they did not agree to.

3. What is the responsibility of being trusted with information?

Answer: To protect it, use it only for its intended purpose, not share it without permission, and delete it when it is no longer needed.

4. How can a 5th grader practice Amana with data?

Answer: Do not share friends' photos or messages without permission, do not reveal personal information others told you in confidence, and treat everyone's privacy the way you want yours treated.
