Phase 2: 2026 Research Period

Shifting from reporting to building.

Public editorial activity is paused to prioritize deep-layer auditing of 2026 EdTech privacy shifts. Seventeen new state-level bills, three FTC enforcement actions, and a generation of new classroom apps have changed the landscape materially since early 2026.

We are mapping this terrain systematically before publishing again. The result will be a tool, not just an article. The App Privacy Checker will deliver automated, real-time privacy assessments for every app your child uses.

2026 State Law Audit
Mapping all new state-level children's privacy legislation passed between January and June 2026, including FL, CA, NY, TX, UT, and CO.
EdTech Data Mapping
Auditing data collection practices for the 40 most-used classroom apps in US K-12 schools, benchmarked against FERPA and COPPA requirements.
App Privacy Checker Development
Building the privacy risk assessment engine for the 2027 tool. Beta access is available exclusively to waitlist subscribers.
