S 2618: Amendment S.2618

This bill (S 2618) establishes new data privacy rules for educational technology used in Massachusetts K-12 schools. It prohibits operators (like edtech companies) from using student data for targeted advertising, creating student profiles, or selling student information - including names, locations, grades, health records, or online activity - without explicit permission. The law defines "covered information" broadly to include all personal data collected through school-authorized digital tools, and requires data to be "de-identified" (fully anonymized) before sharing. It directly affects edtech providers, school districts, and the students/parents whose data is collected during school activities.
