Maddy summaryH 4405 limits how companies providing educational apps or services to schools can handle student and educator data. It prohibits operators from using covered information (like names, locations, health records, or biometric data) for targeted advertising, building profiles beyond school activities, or selling student data. The law also requires data to be de-identified or aggregated in ways that prevent individual identification. This directly affects school districts, K-12 schools, and technology companies offering educational tools used in classrooms or school administration.
