Digital Smarts - Parent’s Guide to Student Data Privacy

The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) released a guide recently to help parents understand student-data-privacy policies and to clarify students' and parents' protections under the law. The FPF, a Washington-based organization that advocates for the responsible use of data, worked with the National Parent-Teacher Association and Connect Safely in publishing the online resource. The new parent guide provides details about who can access students' data, what education companies can do with student information, what laws are in place to protect student data, and when parents can opt out of sharing data.
