SHIELD

A parent in Washington State and her school-aged children had their sensitive educational, medical, and behavioral data collected, tracked, and commercialized without parental consent through mandatory school software. The data was allegedly sold to over 100 third-party commercial partners to predict and profit from the children’s future trajectories. The parent filed a class-action lawsuit against the platform operator, and a federal judge subsequently ruled that their privacy and unjust enrichment claims could proceed.
