The Privacy and Equity Implications of Using Self-Harm Monitoring Technologies: Recommendations for Schools

The Future of Privacy Forum published this report on the privacy implications of self-harm monitoring technologies in schools. The report explores how the technology is used, questions raised around students’ right to privacy, what student information is obtained and who has access to it, recommendations to reduce risks, and more. “Privacy guardrails must be drawn so students and families can be reassured that their rights will be protected,” the report said.
