Others reported on this issue here and here. In August of 2018 Missouri Education Watchdog wrote this article detailing how one Springfield, Missouri family, discovered that their school district’s Google’s GSuite platform was collecting and storing surprising amounts of personal data about students and, apparently even storing information from parents’ and family members’ personal accounts (family members’ passwords to banking, work, shopping, bills). What data are being collected and stored (and shared?) via your child’s school issued Google GSuite account? We’ll show you how to start checking. What is Google doing with student data? Why is Google allowed to track Location, Voice Activity, Web & App Activity, Device Information, YouTube videos Searched and Watched of K-12 school children? How are these data being used and shared? With mounting concerns about school safety, screen addiction, screen time’s known health and brain effects, increase in internet crimes against children, along with hyper focused national attention on data misuse, location tracking, breaches, Gmail data sharing, and data privacy–what about schoolchildren?Īs this Google Transparency Project explains, Google is promoting itself via GSuite products and Apps into many classrooms across America (and the globe).
