Tryhackme
Not Approved
Why this application is not approved: Not approved following a district privacy compliance review: the vendor's terms directly conflict with FERPA, COPPA. FERPA: The policy states that limited user information, including performance data like rank, badges, streaks, and completed rooms, is 'publicly available on our platform' via leaderboards and public profiles. If used by schools, this would involve the redisclosure of student education records without consent, directly violating FERPA's confidentiality provisions. COPPA: The policy lacks any mention of age gating, parental consent mechanisms, or specific protections for children under 13, despite offering a 'gamified, hands-on cyber security training platform' which is likely to attract younger users.
