They're already Google, so are not a third party. In this case it's at least clear and obvious that Google is being trusted with student data. And being Google, they already have in-house services for ad tracking, analytics, and what not. You're still sending data to Google, but at it seems less likely it'd then be sent out to other third parties with unclear privacy policies.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoThis is also why I think concern over "third parties" is misguided. It needlessly advantages the biggest tech companies, and encourages them to get even bigger.
- genocidicbunny 6y agoI think the definition of 'third party' really needs an update. It should include other business units of a company not related to the product. Google's Ad unit should have no access to the data generated from the Classrooms sites.
