Student Data Privacy (SDP) is the practice of safeguarding information collected about students by schools and educational technology platforms. This includes personally identifiable information (PII) such as demographics (i.e. name, age, address), academic data (i.e. grades, test results), behavioral data (i.e. attendance, conduct notes), and online activity (i.e. app usage, time on task, login details).  Several laws govern how student data can be collected, stored, and shared. These include Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA), and Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA).   Ensuring Student Data Privacy is important because it promotes safety (i.e. proactive measure against identity theft and  targeted predatory behavior), fairness (i.e. stops unfair profiling or algorithmic bias based on a student's background or learning habits), and trust (builds trust in the community that schools handle digital tools responsibly).
