Securly Inc. collected and disclosed the geolocation data and video-watching histories of grade school students in violation of California privacy laws and the federal Video Privacy Protection Act, a new proposed federal class action said.

Sheri Bate and Azucena Mejia alleged that Securly, a provider of tracking software to school systems for use on Chromebooks issued to students, tracked their children’s locations, personal communications, websites visited, and video-watching habits without providing notification or obtaining their consent.
