I learned about COPPA. I also learned how to vet apps for student privacy. I never thought about the TOS verbage, I always assumed that if it was for educational purposes, it was safe. I should have known better.
I already knew that students should not share personally identifying information (PII) online. I also knew that it was a FERPA violation for students to see each other's grades. I did not realise that a students' address was on the list of allowable information that could be shared.
