Date

The ACLU of Maine has criticised the Caribou school district and the Pennsylvania-based biometric education company IdentiMetrics for mishandling a contract by not laying out clear plans for protecting student data. The contract was to supply a biometric finger scanner to track student attendance data; it was cancelled when parents raised concerns about data privacy. IdentiMetrics have further contracts with thousands of other school districts in 48 states.
