Roach v. Instructure Inc

What this case is about

This lawsuit targets Instructure, the company behind the Canvas learning management system widely used by schools and universities. The plaintiff alleges that Instructure improperly collected, used, or shared personal data belonging to students and other users without proper consent or in violation of applicable privacy laws. The case suggests that Instructure's data practices went beyond what users were informed about or agreed to, potentially exposing sensitive educational and personal information. The proposed class likely includes students, parents, or other individuals whose personal information was handled by Instructure's platform in an unauthorized or unlawful manner. The plaintiff seeks to hold the company accountable for these alleged privacy violations and to obtain relief on behalf of all similarly affected individuals.
