As parents, we’ve become increasingly aware of digital platforms monitoring and selling our online activity, but even more worrisome is the fact that this is also happening with our children on school-issued devices.

Recent studies have shown that educational technology services collect far more information on kids than is necessary and then store that information indefinitely.

This goes beyond personal information like name and date of birth, including browsing history, search terms, location data, contact lists, and behavioral information.

All of this happens without the awareness or consent of the families, and the schools offer inadequate privacy policies or no privacy policies at all.
