SXSW EDU 2022
Education as a Service: Student Privacy in 2021
Description:
Families want better privacy protections from the apps they use. Companies adapted privacy policies in response. New laws help improve privacy, but what are your favorite apps actually doing - and are they telling you about selling data, targeted ads, or tracking? Our team looked at 200 privacy policies from the most popular edtech services for 2021 to show the privacy shortcomings of big tech and social media companies. Learn more from a panel of privacy experts, educators, and parents.
