The Hidden Cost of Student Data Privacy

Listen for free

View show details

We talk about the real price schools pay when they trade student data for free software. In October 2026, with federal privacy rules tightening and state laws like California’s expanding, edtech companies face a new dilemma: monetize user data or build sustainable revenue models. Lucas and Luna break down how leading platforms are shifting from ad-supported models to enterprise licensing, and what that means for teacher workload and student outcomes. We examine the case of a mid-sized district in Ohio that recently switched to a zero-data-collection policy, revealing hidden costs in implementation and support. This episode explores whether privacy can be a competitive advantage in the crowded edtech market. #EdTechPrivacy #StudentDataProtection #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EdTechStartups #SchoolDistricts #DataMonetization #TeacherWorkload #COPPACompliance #FERPARegulations #EdTechRevenueModels #DigitalClassroom #SaaSForEducation #PrivacyFirstDesign #EdTechEthics #SchoolTechnology #LucasAndLuna #EdTechTrends2026 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
