This is the second webinar in Avant’s Cybersecurity for Educators Series. We sat down with Linnette Attai, president of PlayWell, LLC and global privacy expert, to discuss what you need to know about vendor compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Legislative changes that recently passed in the Senate and the Federal Trade Commission’s recent rule-making proposal will impact what you should expect from technology providers. You won’t want to miss these important updates!

What you will learn:

  • What it means for a vendor to be compliant with COPPA.
  • Key considerations when assessing vendor privacy practices.
  • What proposed changes to COPPA mean for school districts.
