In this film we follow a number of personal stories of young people living in a city, and the sacrifices and considerations that go into their being active on the Internet. We are all active online in today’s more and more connected society. However, are we aware of the considerations we make when interacting with others and logging on to online platforms? How do we deal with the wrongdoings that might befall us online? Are we aware of what exactly is happening with our personal data, and is it in our control? This film addresses digital human rights, which will become more and more important to protect our privacy and dignity in a digital world.


This film is part of the growing documentary project with a focus on the importance of being able to control your own personal data online. Gradually, almost every person's life becomes connected to the Internet, and they use it in their daily lives. But how aware are we about the personal data we share when we are connected to the Internet? For people this might have safety implications and it can harm our wellbeing and dignity. This film has the aim to enlighten and to debate openly the future of our lives in a more and more online connected society.


You are Your profile - personal considerations when online follows the stories of several (young) people with a focus on their personal experiences, how they dealt with the (mis)use of (their) personal data and what implications it has/had in their lives. One of the focuses is on how personal data can suddenly be misused by someone else, for example, by blackmail, scams or sextortion. Besides a number of ‘negative’ stories we will also highlight less negative stories that contemplate about the future of the Internet and how to be active online. YaYp will showcase considerations made in the past leading towards the digital world we live in today.


YaYp presents empowering stories that are able to raise awareness. Stories that show we can all be a victim online, but how do we prevent this? How aware are we? What would we have done differently? The stories are recorded, among others, in Amsterdam, London, Willemstad, Helmond, Den Bosch.
