Daycares and Big Data

Blaise Alleyne at

So, my daycare just started uploading information about my kids' activities, moods, diet, development etc., and possibly photos in future, to a 3rd party for-profit company that stores that data in another country and I know very little about.

The daycare also seems pretty technologically illiterate, so (a) I doubt they'd appreciate the concerns, and (b) on the other hand, using technology to share this information with parents is a pretty good thing -- it's just using some proprietary service as the intermediary that has me pretty annoyed.

Gah.

Data and privacy issues pop up in surprising places. Gah, indeed.
