Maryland Student Data Privacy Act (operators of PreK-12 online services)

Maryland's student data privacy law limits what education-technology operators working under contract with public schools may do with student information. Operators must secure covered information and delete it on school request, and may not use it for targeted advertising, build non-educational student profiles, sell it, or disclose it outside listed exceptions. The 2022 amendments (ch. 164) expanded covered information, added persistent identifiers, and tied coverage to school contracts.
