An Act relative to student and educator data privacy

This bill prohibits educational technology operators from using student or educator data for targeted advertising, building profiles for non-educational purposes, or selling personal information. It directly affects companies providing online tools used in K-12 schools (like apps or websites), requiring them to stop collecting and misusing data such as location, biometrics, grades, or online behavior linked to specific students or teachers. Key provisions define "covered information" broadly - including names, addresses, health records, search history, and persistent tracking identifiers - and ban the sale of this data or its use for advertising based on students' online activity. The law applies to all K-12 school-related digital tools, ensuring data collected for educational purposes cannot be repurposed for commercial gain.
