Dear Lawyers,

Can schools collect the telephone numbers of their students (not parents, but the students' own telephone numbers, even if they are minors)?

Dear inquirer,

Schools must obtain explicit parental consent before collecting any personal information from minors, including their telephone numbers.

Without parental consent, collecting such information could be considered a violation of privacy laws.

Schools should clearly inform parents about why the information is being collected, how it will be used, and how it will be protected.

For further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your question about whether schools can request and collect students' personal telephone numbers.

Generally, schools may request such information for communication purposes, but it's important that they do so in compliance with privacy laws and regulations.

The school should ensure that the data is collected with the consent of the parents or guardians and is used solely for legitimate educational purposes.

Given the potential legal implications of privacy rights, it may be advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that your specific situation is handled correctly and that all legal requirements are met.

If you’d like to discuss this matter further or need assistance with any related legal concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone at [-------]. I’m here to help.

Best regards,
