We know you care about student privacy but are you aware this Thursday is Data Privacy Day? Data Privacy Day is an annual international effort held every January 28th to increase awareness and empower people to protect their personal information.
The Parent Coalition for Student Privacy will be celebrating Data Privacy Day this year by holding a Twitter chat on January 28th from 9:00-10:00 PM EST. We will be asking parents and teachers to weigh in on what questions they would like answered and resources they need to protect and advocate for student privacy in their own school communities. We will use feedback from the Twitter chat to help us design a student privacy toolkit which we will release in partnership with the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood this fall when kids go back-to-school. Stay tuned!
Please join us this Thursday, January 28th from 9:00-10:00 PM EST on Twitter at @parents4privacy and @commercialfree and use the hashtag #StudentPrivacy.
Thank you!
