Safe, to be used later to build a profile of your child, and sell it to employers, insurance companies, the police, intelligence agencies, or anyone else willing to pay a few cents or send a subpoena.

Exactly how safe will these kids be if someone with nefarious intentions gets their hands on their PII? Not very, if you ask me.
How safe will they be when, 20 years from now, their classmate is arrested for political crimes, and this data shows that they were friends during school?
Not safe at all.
