New Utah law protects student privacy after BYU research found K-12 apps were collecting and sharing data

Brigham Young University researchers found that educational technology vendors were not consistently meeting student privacy obligations in a study commissioned by the Utah State Board of Education. The findings prompted Utah to enact new legislation strengthening privacy protections for K-12 student data.

Why it matters: School administrators and EdTech procurement teams must understand evolving state privacy requirements; non-compliance with Utah's new law could expose districts to liability and students to unauthorized data sharing.
