Smart toys connected to internet, which are able to communicate with the child and obtain some information from him/her and send it to a computer located elsewhere, in addition to benefits such as entertainment and education has faced the children’s privacy with serious probability of violation. The personal information collected from the child, may be misused by the manufacturing company or a third party may have illegal access it illegally. The challenges of smart toys for children’s privacy and their legal solutions have been studied. The U.S law, with laws and regulations concerning children’s privacy passed previously has provided a relatively desirable level for children. However, the Iranian law is faced with serious deficiency in this regard. Therefore, the authors have, using the American law solutions, recommended that a new law is should be passed or current laws could be modified. Some general rules and verdicts of the Imami jurisprudence confirm the necessity of protecting the children’s privacy in the internet of toys.
