A new report finds that, under the guise of “personalized learning,” school-issued computer devices in the hands of one-third of K-12 students in schools across the U.S. are collecting an unprecedented amount of personal data on children without their parents’ notice or consent.
Breitbart reports a newly released investigation by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) found that student information collected by education technology services through devices such as Google Chromebooks, includes not only personal information – such as name and date of birth – but also browsing history, location information, contact lists, and behavioral data.
Student data is also often automatically uploaded to the cloud – all without the knowledge of parents.
