Unlike the core services, these applications will col- lect personal data from us- ers "to provide, maintain, protect and improve (the services), to develop new ones and to protect Google and (its) users." Google continues: "We also use this information to offer users tailored content, such as more relevant search results. We may combine personal informa- tion from one service with information, including per- sonal information, from other Google services." And though Google will not specifically target ads to individual elementary and high school students, that doesn't mean that the students will not receive them at all. The Burlington father found a number of advertis- ing emails sent from third- party applications accessed by his child through her G Suite account, to her HDSB email - a matter he says he finds troubling as his daughter is a minor, not able to consent to her infor- mation being used for com- mercial purposes. Truffen says he was un- aware that students may be receiving advertising emails from these applica- tions, but he would not rule out the possibility. "That's a tough question to answer," he said. "From talking to my managers, the profiles that are on the HDSB domain are private." The Burlington dad says he initially reached out to the HDSB to have the G Suite settings changed for his daughter and eight- year-old son, so as to not continue to supply Google with their personal infor- mation. "When we deemed that the correspondence with the board at the time was not going to result in any action on the board's part to change our children's ac- count settings, we contact- ed Google directly our- selves to inquire how these settings could be changed," he told the Independent. "As the Halton District School Board is the account administrator for our chil- dren's G Suite accounts, we were unable to change any settings. We communicated the information we re- ceived by Google, and the settings were changed by the board for our children." But, the father contin- ues, he wonders how many parents are unaware of what G Suite entails and the consequences of allowing their children to access the suite unsupervised. Ahmad says parents should be properly in- formed about their child's use of G Suite in a compre- hensive manner. "They need to know what is happening and what kind of information would potentially be col- lected from the child," he said. "Quite frankly, if you are using G Suite, under- stand what the terms and conditions are and include that in the (consent) slip, and use summaries - don't give them a 20-page docu- ment. There should be something simple for par- ents to read to understand the risks their child is po- tentially taking." Ahmad also noted that personally identifiable in- formation doesn't just mean your name and address - "it includes your IP address, it includes your online beha- viour, everything related to your profile if you wish." Subsequent to getting his children's G Suite pro- files amended, the Burling- ton father has also been dili- gent in reaching out to many of the additional ap- plications individually, in- quiring about consent and the ways in which his chil- dren's information is being used. In email correspondence between the father and In- fogram's support centre, In- fogram cites its own terms of use saying, "You agree that by using the service you represent that you are at least 18 years old and that you are legally able to enter this agreement. If you are under the age of 18 years old, you represent that you are at least 14 years old and that your parent or legal guardian consents to your use of this service," adding that it is the responsibility of the person who registers the account to ensure the user is at least 14 years of age. Ahmad says when it comes to these types of ap- plications, everything is premised. "When you give your personal information or you sign up for an account, it's premised on the user giving their consent and so the question then is, is a child who is under the age of the majority able to give informed consent?" EDUCATION STORY BEHIND THE STORY: A Burlington father became concerned after noticing his 11-year-old daughter using a third-party app she accessed using a profile created on her behalf by the HDSB. Her username contained her first and last name.
