From the moment our kids are born, a digital paper trail on them begins. It starts with a record of their birth, progresses to immunizations and growth charts, grades and school performance, and now includes information\u00a0collected from websites, apps and beyond.<\/p>\n

Data collection on kids is happening in places online and off, and it\u2019s nearly impossible for parents to keep up with the current pace.<\/p>\n

From playgrounds to PlayStations<\/h3>\n

In schools, student data collection is fueling the growth of an $8 billion educational technology software market thanks to the Common Core standards\u2019 need for student testing and assessment.FERPA<\/a>, the federal law designed to protect student data, should be enough to protect this newly gathered information. But it actually does little when it\u2019s in the hands of non-educational institutions.<\/p>\n

What should be of greater concern are some of the newer ways data is gathered through immersive entertainment experiences, such as motion-sensing games and amusement parks. The argument from data collectors: let us track lots of information on you, and we\u2019ll give you a highly personalized experience. The price for fun? Your privacy.<\/p>\n
