Activity Guide - Privacy, Security, and Innovation
Choose a Website and Find the Data Privacy Policy
Choose an app, website, or other online service you are familiar with to research their data policy. The easiest way to
find a data policy, if it exists, is to search for the company name followed by the terms “data policy” or “privacy policy.”
Your website or app:
code.org - https://code.org/privacy
What Is Their Data Policy?
Respond to the questions below. Even if you can’t find information, you should record where you looked and the fact
that you can’t find it. If there isn’t a policy or it’s hard to find, that can be just as interesting as seeing the policy itself.
Question 1: What kinds of data is collected?
●
Display name
●
Account passwords
●
Secret words/pictures
●
Age (Not birthdate)
●
One-way hash of student email address
●
Parent or guardian email address
●
Account Identifiers
●
Login time, IP address, and other technical data
●
Gender
●
Race
●
Progress in the course
●
Student projects
●
Student-uploaded images, sounds, or videos
●
Data collected by Student-created apps
●
Written comments in response to curricular/educational prompts within Code.org courses
●
Student-provided responses to surveys (e.g., multiple choice and free response questions)
Question 2: How is the data you listed above being used? What features are enabled by the data?
Code.org uses this information above to gather info about the user to successfully retain their progress
throughout using this application
Question 3: Does the company share the data with anyone else? Who?
No, according to the website, “Code.org does not share information with such services.” This proves that
code.org does not share private information with other companies
Question 4: Can you get access to your own data? Can you modify what is collected, or delete your data if you
wish?
Yes, you can unless it is teacher controlled and only then do you not have full access to your account.
Privacy vs. Security Tradeoffs
Question 5: Do you believe the benefits of the innovation you researched outweigh the privacy concerns?
Explain why or why not making explicit connections to responses 1-4 above.

Unit 10 Lesson 3
Yes, because even through the privacy policy this application is still a create useful source for newly
upcoming coders it can provide education services to students and the data collected is not hurting you. For
example, “Code.org does not share information with such services.” This proves that code.org does not share
private information with other companies
Question 6
●
1 - Totally Comfortable
"Have my data! It makes the technology I love work and keeps me safe!”
●
2 - Mostly Comfortable
"I want tech innovations and stronger security. Let's make sure we take care of the
most damaging privacy concerns."
●
3 - Mixed
"There's a lot of this that makes me uncomfortable, but I'm still going to use technology."
●
4 - Mostly Uncomfortable
"Privacy is more important than empowering innovations or ensuring security. I
would give up on some tech innovations to ensure my privacy"
●
5 - Totally Uncomfortable
"I'd give up most technology and would like to see much stronger limits on what
kind of data can be collected and stored, even if it limits the introduction of new technology"
Which of the above categories best describes your overall comfort with using data to drive innovations or
ensure security? Write a paragraph below explaining your response and tying it to either the information in
this activity guide or discussions shared in class.
My rank is 3 because I feel, even through the conderns, I would rather be able to have access to multiple
applications even if it means giving the website some of my information. I also understand feeling
uncomfortable knowing that my information is just floating around the internet for any application and/or
hacker to steal so that is why I have chosen rank 3. There are different sides to the story.

Data Collection and
Use
Response 1 include
many examples of
data collected by the

include many
examples but there
may not always be
connections between
the kinds of data
collected and the
way it is used.

missing.
Data Sharing and
Control
Response 3 and 4
clearly describe how
users data is shared
externally and
whether and if users
have any controls
over their data.
There are clear ties
between the way
data is used and the
controls users have
over that use.
Response 3 and 4

how data is shared
and controlled but
there many not
always be clear ties

and 4 is significantly
lacking in clarity over
how the data is
shared or how the
data is controlled.
Both responses are
either incomplete or
missing.
