Not Approved
Why this application is not approved: Not approved following a district privacy compliance review: the vendor's terms directly conflict with Florida Statute 1006.1494, COPPA. Florida Statute 1006.1494: The policy explicitly states the service shows Google ads, which violates the prohibition against targeted advertising based on covered information for K-12 students, as the policy does not state these ads are not targeted or that student data is not used for targeting. Even if not directly targeted using student data, the presence of ads on an educational platform used by K-12 students presents a conflict with the spirit and letter of the statute. COPPA: The policy does not include any age-gating mechanism or verifiable parental consent procedures for children under 13, who may create accounts to use the educational service, leading to the collection of personal information (e.g., email, progress data) without COPPA-compliant consent.
