The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Bermuda (PrivCom) has donated a copy of the children’s privacy storybook Warro Goes on an Adventure to the Florenz Webbe Maxwell Youth Library, strengthening its ongoing commitment to empower young readers to understand and protect their personal information.

Warro Goes on an Adventure, created by the Office of the Data Protection Authority in Guernsey, introduces privacy through a colourful narrative that follows Warro, a curious character, on a journey of learning, decision-making, and personal responsibility. The book helps children recognise what personal information is, why it matters, and how to share it safely.

“Privacy is a fundamental right.  If children can learn this right from an early age they will have better ownership over their data.  Warro is written in a fun and easy manner for children to understand.  The office is pleased to make this donation to the library.  This will allow greater access for the community.” – Acting Privacy Commissioner, Angie Farquharson.

The donation aligns with PrivCom’s Children’s Privacy Program, an ongoing outreach initiative designed to provide privacy knowledge for families, educators, and youth. The Bermuda Youth Library welcomed the addition to their collection and expressed support for helping young people navigate an increasingly digital world with confidence and awareness.

“The Florenz Webbe Maxwell Youth Library thanks the Privacy Commissioner for their donation of the book Warro Goes on an Adventure. It is important for children to learn about data privacy at a young age, and the addition of this book to our collection is just one of the ways the library hopes to connect with the Privacy Commissioner to protect the youth of Bermuda.” – Youth Collection Librarian, Kieron Hall.

PrivCom looks forward to continued collaboration with the Youth Library and other community partners to ensure Bermuda’s young people understand that privacy is a fundamental human right: accessible, teachable, and relevant at every age.
