The iKeepSafe mission is to provide a safe digital landscape for students by supporting student data privacy protections and advancing learning with technology. While educational technology benefits learning through collaboration and personalized learning, barriers include parental concerns over data misuse and commercialization. iKeepSafe works to overcome these barriers through educator training on balancing innovations with privacy responsibilities, teaching students about data privacy, and ensuring all systems connecting to school networks comply with privacy requirements. iKeepSafe also offers privacy certifications and assessments to simplify privacy compliance for educational technology companies.
