 ==Consumer impact summary==
 ===Student privacy===
-securelypass (including other similar products such as [[Gaggle]] and [[GoGuardian]]) is constantly collecting [[Personally identifiable information]] (PII) about the students in their system. When students make a pass, it also tracks when and how long students are out and stores all of the data long term<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-06-07 |title=e-hallpass - Full Privacy Report |url=https://privacy.commonsense.org/privacy-report/e-hallpass |access-date=2026-03-18 |website=common sense}}</ref>.
+Digital hall pass systems collect significant amounts of [[personally identifiable information]] (PII) regarding students. These systems log the frequency, destination, and duration of a student's time outside of the classroom, with the resulting data often stored long-term. Organizations such as Common Sense Media have raised concerns regarding the extent of data collection and the long-term privacy implications for students.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-06-07 |title=e-hallpass - Full Privacy Report |url=https://privacy.commonsense.org/evaluation/e-hallpass |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220419132715/https://privacy.commonsense.org/evaluation/e-hallpass |archive-date=2022-04-19 |access-date=2026-03-18 |website=common sense Privacy Program}}</ref>
 ===AI "encounter prevention"===
+Some platforms, such as SmartPass, utilize [[artificial intelligence]] (AI) to facilitate "encounter prevention." These algorithms analyze pass patterns to detect students who may be intentionally coordinating passes to meet in unsupervised areas. When a potential meeting is detected, the system may automatically block a pass request or alert school staff.
