So, a particular school system decided to add SSN to the student profile? Or Canvas requires it?

- Mezzie 6mo agoIt's not required. I don't know precisely what her district is doing or why - I don't work there But she unprompted brought up that a lot of the minors' PII was in there including SSNs.
- SoftTalker 6mo agoIt would be nice if system owners stopped thinking "we'll just ask for all the info in case we need it" and instead "we might get sued (or ransomed, or both) because we are collecting this."
- saghm 6mo agoI'm guessing that Canvas just sort of lets you put in whatever data you want, and someone evidently decided that putting the student's SSNs in there made sense...
