Protecting Education Privacy: New Rules for Data Sharing.
This act amends regulations concerning student education data privacy. It aims to better protect sensitive information by restricting its sharing without parental consent, especially for commercial purposes. These changes are intended to give parents more control over who accesses their children's educational data and for what reason.
Key points
Strengthening student data protection: Educational information cannot be shared for commercial purposes without written parental consent.
Defining "authorized representative": Specifies who can access educational data on behalf of officials, ensuring they are under direct control.
Prohibiting data release by representatives: Authorized representatives cannot share personally identifiable information with anyone other than the official who designated them.
Repealing certain definitions: Definitions of "authorized representative" and education programs are removed from regulations to standardize rules.
