Your Student Data Might Be Funding the Advertising Industry

Imagine this: your school's parent-teacher conference scheduling tool is selling data to advertisers. Yes, your student data might be funding the advertising industry. This hidden danger of ad-tech in schools is a reality we must face.

The Rise of Ad-Tech in Schools

With the increasing reliance on technology in education, ad-tech has infiltrated schools across the nation. According to a study by the National Education Policy Center, many ed-tech platforms collect and monetize student data. This practice raises serious privacy concerns for schools that unknowingly expose sensitive information.

Real-Life Horror Stories

Take the case of a school district in California, where a popular scheduling tool was found to be sharing student data with third-party advertisers. This breach not only violated privacy policies but also eroded trust within the school community.
