Background and Aim:Due to the lack of legal clarity regarding children's right to privacy, especially children's informational privacy,Another is that due to weak physical strength, young age and inability to defend themselves, children are at a greater risk of having a negative experience of privacy violations, including frustration and loss of self-confidence in social life (school and peer groups), their delinquency and re-victimization and even labeling,In this research, we have sought to find this issue that despite the lack of legal clarity in this regard, if is there basically no protection of the right of children's information privacy in the laws. Method:The research method is descriptive and data collection was done in a library way. Results:By interpreting and analyzing some domestic laws and bills, including the Constitution, the Criminal Procedure Law, the Protection of Children and Adolescents Law, the Islamic Penal Code and the laws related to privacy and special police for children, we found outthat this right exists implicitly and in the heart of different laws for children as well as adults and where it is explicitly protected, it is the law for the protection of children and adolescentsit has considered privacy along with the guarantee of implementation and in some cases, such as the privacy protection bill, it has incompletely supported this right. Conclusion:Wherever there is a need for legislation, the legislators have written laws, but some of these laws are ambiguous or incomplete, which need to be amended and completed and in addition, more support should be given to them.
