Lively Letters
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, PPRA, COPPA. Florida Statute 1006.1494: The policy explicitly permits the use of collected data for third-party advertising, developer's own advertising, and defines 'tracking' for targeted advertising, which is prohibited for student online personal information under FS1006. PPRA: The policy explicitly permits the use of collected data for 'third-party advertising' and 'developer's advertising or marketing,' and sharing data with a 'data broker,' which directly conflicts with PPRA's prohibition on using student personal information for marketing or selling. COPPA: The policy makes no provision for obtaining verifiable parental consent for the collection of personal information from children under 13, nor does it outline school-based consent mechanisms for educational use.
