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, FERPA, PPRA, COPPA. Florida Statute 1006.1494: The policy explicitly states the ability to sell children's information with consent for California residents. Florida Statute 1006.1494(3)(c) strictly prohibits the selling or renting of covered student information, without exceptions for consent in the context of K-12 school services. FERPA: The policy mentions the possibility of selling children's information with consent. FERPA generally prohibits the redisclosure of personally identifiable information from education records for commercial sale, regardless of parental consent, when a school district has provided the data for an educational service. PPRA: The policy explicitly states that for California residents, children's information can be sold with consent. PPRA prohibits the collection, disclosure, or use of student personal information for marketing or selling purposes, particularly in a school context. COPPA: The policy's statement for California residents that it 'cannot sell your information without parental consent' for children under 13 implies that with parental consent, children's information *can be sold*. In a K-12 educational context, parental consent obtained by schools under COPPA is specifically for the educational use of the service, not for the commercial sale of children's data.
