Student Data Privacy: Technology Providers and School-Issued Devices (Educational Data)

Minnesota's 2022 student data privacy provisions bar technology providers serving public schools from selling, sharing, or commercially using student educational data, including for advertising, and require them to protect the data, report breaches to the school, and return or destroy data at contract end. Schools and providers generally may not remotely access a school-issued device's location tracking, camera, microphone, keystrokes, or browsing, except for listed purposes such as noncommercial instruction with advance notice, warrants, stolen devices, or imminent threats.
