Student Digital Privacy

The education landscape is changing fast. Schools and EdTech providers face a complex patchwork of federal, state, and global regulations that govern how student data must be collected, used, and protected. Parents and regulators are demanding accountability, and voluntary pledges or self-attested commitments are no longer enough.

PRIVO’s Student Digital Privacy Program delivers a comprehensive, compliance framework that helps EdTech providers understand their privacy obligations and ensure they meet them helping to build trust with schools, parents, and regulators.

Increasing Enforcement: Recent FTC actions against Edmodo and others highlight that edtech providers, not schools, are responsible for compliance. Misuse of data, can result in fines, lawsuits, and reputational harm.
AI in Education: With AI embedded in classroom tools, privacy and transparency requirements are under greater scrutiny than ever.
Expanding Regulations: Over 40 U.S. states now have student privacy laws, alongside FERPA, PPRA, COPPA (education exception), and international standards.
