Online learning has become a dominant means of providing knowledge to people of all age groups, rather than becoming a standalone concept to a few. The intersection of learning online and customizing education for students has started becoming a grave challenge with data privacy at stake. Most of the digital learning platforms have the option of recording students’ and parents’ data. Data in education is referred to the information that an institution, district, trainer, and online service provider collects from each student. It includes personal, professional, and meta-data. The data when effectively used can allow the stakeholders to make and customise personalised decisions based on the need of the learner and help the learner to succeed. With abundant data accessible around the world, it is often widely misused and thus it calls for an understanding of the ways to avoid data breaches.
