Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

105 ILCS 85/10

    (105 ILCS 85/10)
    Sec. 10. Operator prohibitions. An operator shall not knowingly do any of the following:
        (1) Engage in targeted advertising on the operator's

site, service, or application or target advertising on any other site, service, or application if the targeting of the advertising is based on any information, including covered information and persistent unique identifiers, that the operator has acquired because of the use of that operator's site, service, or application for K through 12 school purposes.

(2) Use information, including persistent unique

identifiers, created or gathered by the operator's site, service, or application to amass a profile about a student, except in furtherance of  K through 12 school purposes. "Amass a profile" does not include the collection and retention of account information that remains under the control of the student, the student's parent, or the school.

(3) Sell or rent a student's information, including

covered information. This subdivision (3) does not apply to the purchase, merger, or other type of acquisition of an operator by another entity if the operator or successor entity complies with this Act regarding previously acquired student information.

(4) Except as otherwise provided in Section 20 of

this Act, disclose covered information, unless the disclosure is made for the following purposes:

(A) In furtherance of the K through 12 school

purposes of the site, service, or application if the recipient of the covered information disclosed under this clause (A) does not further disclose the information, unless done to allow or improve operability and functionality of the operator's site, service, or application.

(B) To ensure legal and regulatory compliance or

take precautions against liability.

(C) To respond to the judicial process.
(D) To protect the safety or integrity of users

of the site or others or the security of the site, service, or application.

(E) For a school, educational, or employment

purpose requested by the student or the student's parent, provided that the information is not used or further disclosed for any other purpose.

(F) To a third party if the operator

contractually prohibits the third party from using any covered information for any purpose other than providing the contracted service to or on behalf of the operator, prohibits the third party from disclosing any covered information provided by the operator with subsequent third parties, and requires the third party to implement and maintain security procedures and practices as required under Section 15.

Nothing in this Section prohibits the operator's use of information for maintaining, developing, supporting, improving, or diagnosing the operator's site, service, or application.
