THE STATE OF PLAY
The child and student privacy legal landscape is undergoing unprecedented change in the US and internationally. New child privacy protections are being introduced in federal and state legislation on an almost-weekly basis. Companies that were not previously subject to child privacy laws like COPPA are now having to adapt their services to comply with not only new US laws, but also standards like the UK’s Age-Appropriate Design Code that are spreading globally. Student privacy law is also rapidly evolving, with over 130 new state student privacy laws passed in states since 2014 and new FERPA regulations on the horizon. These changes often overlap, leading to sometimes-conflicting layers of compliance obligations. It is important to stay on top of legal changes and best practices, and avoid potential pitfalls through knowledge of past issues that organizations, agencies, and companies have faced.
Most organizations do not have the internal bandwidth or staff expertise that would allow them to quickly understand and comply with the constantly evolving landscape. Updates on these changes, determining when and how to act, and pinpointing the right resources for your organization’s particular needs can be difficult, if not impossible to find. Outdated or inaccurate information could create significant compliance risks and undercut your stakeholders’ trust. That’s where we come in.
