Piskel
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, F.A.C. 6A-1.09550, PPRA, COPPA. Florida Statute 1006.1494: The policy explicitly states the use of third-party advertising partners (Ezoic) that collect data (IP address, device info, unique IDs, etc.) to serve 'interest-based ads' and 'personalized advertisements,' which constitutes targeted advertising based on covered information, a direct prohibition under FS1006.1494(3)(a). F.A.C. 6A-1.09550: The use of student data (such as IP addresses and device identifiers collected by Ezoic) for targeted advertising is not for an authorized educational purpose, violating FAC 6A-1.09550(2)(a). PPRA: The policy explicitly details the collection and use of data (IP addresses, device information, unique IDs) for targeted advertising by Ezoic and its partners, which is a direct use of student personal information for marketing or selling purposes, prohibited under PPRA (20 U.S.C. § 1232h). COPPA: Piskel explicitly states it is 'for all creators and pixel artists of all ages' and 'has no technical way of discriminating between users of different ages,' confirming that children under 13 may use the service.
