Data Privacy in Online Education

Data privacy in online education refers to the protection of students’ personal information—such as names, contact details, and learning progress—when they use digital platforms. It ensures that this data is collected, stored, and shared securely, and only with proper consent. Maintaining data privacy is essential to prevent unauthorized access, identity theft, or misuse of personal data. Educational institutions and platform providers must follow laws and best practices to safeguard student information, fostering a safe and trustworthy learning environment where personal data is respected and protected.
