Google Workspace

When creating a student account, Poplar Bluff School District may provide Google with certain personal information about the student, including, for example, a username and password.

When a student uses Google services, Google also collects information based on the use of those services. This includes:

• device information, such as the hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information;

• log information, including details of how a user used Google services, device event information, and the user's Internet protocol (IP) address;

• unique application numbers, such as application version number;

• cookies or similar technologies which are used to collect and store information about a browser or device, such as preferred language and other settings.

In Google Workspace for Education Core Services, Google uses student personal information to provide, maintain, and protect the services. Google does not serve ads in the Core Services or use personal information collected in the Core Services for advertising purposes.

In Google Additional Services, Google uses the information collected from all Additional Services to provide, maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect Google and its users. Google may also use this information to offer tailored content, such as more relevant search results. Google may combine personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other Google services.

No. For Google Workspace for Education users in primary and secondary (K-12) schools, Google does not use any user personal information (or any information associated with a Google Workspace for Education Account) to target ads, whether in Core Services or in other Additional Services accessed while using an Google Workspace for Education account.

We maintain a highly customized configuration of Google Workspace for Education and restrict sharing and messaging to internal use between teachers and students. In upper grade levels, we may allow students to access Google services such as Google Docs and Sites, which include features where users can share information with others or publicly.

Google will not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Google unless one of the following circumstances applies:

• With parental or guardian consent. Google will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google when it has parents’ consent (for users below the age of consent), which may be obtained through Google Workspace for Education schools.

• With Poplar Bluff School District. Google Workspace for Education accounts, because they are school-managed accounts, give administrators access to information stored in them.

• For external processing. Google may provide personal information to affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for Google, based on Google’s instructions and in compliance with the Google Workspace for Education privacy notice and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

• For legal reasons. Google will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google if it has a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to: 1) meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, 2) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations, 3) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, 4) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Google, Google users or the public as required or permitted by law.
