Hey Marbella parents! We all love technology, but it brings a big concern for our kids’ privacy in schools.
At Kids Arena Marbella, we’re here to help you keep your children safe while they play and learn.
The Risks of Student Data Breaches
Schools collect sensitive info like names, addresses, and health records. But a case at Kent School in
Connecticut—where a staff member accessed student photos—shows how easily this data can be
misused, putting kids at risk of identity theft. (Source)
Why Current Laws Aren’t Enough
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) helps protect student records, but it’s not enough
for today’s digital threats. We need stronger safeguards to keep our kids safe online. (Source)
How Tech Companies Play a Role
Many educational apps collect student data—sometimes even selling it for marketing. Schools must
choose trusted tools to protect your child’s privacy.
What Schools Can Do
- Build a Strong Data Plan – Create strict policies and audit security regularly.
- Educate Everyone – Teach staff and students about digital risks.
- Use Safe Tools – Pick platforms that meet privacy standards.
- Secure Data – Encrypt info and limit access to protect kids.
What Parents Can Do
- Check Online Use – Monitor your child’s apps and school platforms.
- Ask Questions – Find out how your school protects data.
- Set Controls – Use parental controls to limit data sharing.
- Teach Privacy – Show your kids how to stay safe online.
