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, 'Our Sites use external ad servers (such as "DoubleClick") to serve the advertisements that you see on pages from our Sites. An ad server is a technology platform that stores, manages, and delivers digital advertisements to websites, mobile apps, or other digital platforms. They use cookies to collect information about your use of our Sites to help target ads to your interests.' This practice of targeted advertising based on usage data is directly prohibited for student covered information under FS1006.1494(3)(a). FERPA: The policy states that Tes acts as a 'Data Controller' for its own purposes, including 'marketing, or analytics on its platforms.' If student data falls under this 'Data Controller' role, it contradicts the FERPA 'school official' exception which requires the vendor to act under the direct control of the school for legitimate educational interests, not for its own independent commercial purposes. PPRA: The policy explicitly states the use of 'external ad servers (such as "DoubleClick") to serve the advertisements... to help target ads to your interests' and allows for 'selling, renting, or sharing of identifiable information with unaffiliated entities without express permission.' These practices are strictly prohibited for student personal information under PPRA, creating a direct conflict. COPPA: The policy details general consent mechanisms ('By providing us with your information... you understand that we will process...') but does not outline specific methods for obtaining verifiable parental consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from children under 13, nor does it explicitly rely on schools to provide consent for educational contexts as COPPA permits.
