The Hidden Dangers of Ad-Tech in Schools: Why Your Conference Signup Tool Matters

The Unseen Threat: Ad Tech in Schools

Imagine this: every time a parent signs up for a parent-teacher conference, their data—and by extension, their child's data—becomes a target for advertisers. It's a disturbing reality that many schools are unknowingly contributing to the billion-dollar ad-tech industry, compromising student data privacy in the process.

How Ad-Tech Jeopardizes Student Privacy

Ad tech in schools isn't just about distracting ads on a webpage. It's about the unseen data collection and profiling that happens every time a digital tool is used. From browsing habits to personal information shared during signup, this data is a goldmine for advertisers, leading to targeted advertising that has no place in education.

Your student data might be funding the advertising industry.

The Cost of Convenience

Schools and districts often choose conference scheduling tools based on convenience and cost, overlooking the privacy implications. This oversight can lead to the unintentional sharing of sensitive information, exposing students and their families to risks ranging from unwanted advertising to more serious data breaches.
