Blogger
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 permits targeted advertising based on user data, which is explicitly prohibited for student personal information under FS1006. It also details the building of user profiles for various purposes, including advertising, that extend beyond K-12 school purposes. PPRA: The policy explicitly allows for the use of user personal information for marketing and targeted advertising, which is prohibited for student personal information under PPRA. COPPA: Blogger typically requires users to be at least 13 years old. However, for any potential use by children under 13, the general policy's data collection and advertising practices (including behavioral advertising) are in direct conflict with COPPA's strict requirements for children's data and do not provide for verifiable parental consent or the specific limitations required for educational use.
