Khan Academy—Khan Academy maintains strong student data privacy protections including COPPA/FERPA compliance and AI data safeguards

Names and personal information are not shared with AI model providers. No COPPA violations or major data privacy incidents have been reported against Khan Academy through 2025, distinguishing it from many ed-tech peers who have faced FTC enforcement actions.
