SOPPA stands for the Student Online Personal Protection Act, a data privacy law passed in the state of Illinois. SOPPA aims to protect the privacy and security of student data collected by schools and education technology (EdTech) companies. The law requires schools and EdTech companies to provide transparency and obtain consent from parents or guardians before collecting, using, or disclosing student data. SOPPA also requires schools and EdTech companies to implement appropriate security measures to safeguard student data and provide notification in case of a data breach.
