A note from our Tech Director, Laura Reed, regarding a new app, Saturn, for parents to be aware of. When was the last time that you actually read a user agreement for an app that you loaded onto your device? This morning I read the user agreement and privacy policy of an app called Saturn. This app is geared towards high school students, but middle school students are using it also. In Google Admin we can see if a student requests that this app has access to their school email accounts, 5 students (we can not see who they are) have already tried to allow Saturn access to their school email account, but I denied them. Saturn allows you to take a picture of your schedule, see who else is in your class, connect, and socialize, with other users in your school. Get invited to events that your other classmates are hosting. It is not intended for teachers or other adults, it says this. They collect your phone number, IP address, location (even if you don't allow it, they can figure this out with your IP Address and cell phone towers), other apps installed, your contacts... If you log in with your Microsoft, Google, or other social network account, they have access to your user ID, name, photo, and even access to your email, who you interact with. They use cookies, like Facebook does, to watch what you are doing on your phone, what you browse, other apps you use... Saturn Technologies Inc sells this information to others. Think for a moment about what good this app can do. Then think about what bad this app can do. Or you can read a Facebook post here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02xZt5mM68dafxrV5SVgniLuUQvU2aD6uyWyermP6uiJZB9g7AuYw7VQ6ZdR22Y5r8l&id=66802404&mibextid=pjQu9i The district has blocked Saturn on our devices. But the students can put it on their own devices. Use their own cell data to connect with it. Being informed helps us make better decisions. Thank you, Laura and team, for your work on continually safeguarding our network and students. On a personal note, I did create an account to check this out. The app has Buhler High's entire schedule, staff names, our logo, and I didn't have to verify any school email. I had immediate access to every student on this app and at the time there were 43 students on it. Social media is powerful but it is also the root cause of many discipline issues our administration handles each day. Cindy Couchman, Superintendent Buhler Schools
