      Leonie Haimson testifies about privacy concerns with Talkspace, a mental health service contracted by the NYC Department of Health. She highlights issues with data sharing practices and potential violations of student privacy laws.

      • Haimson's organization found that Talkspace shares user data with numerous third parties and ad trackers
      • A class action lawsuit has been filed against Talkspace in California for sharing minors' mental health information
      • The Parent Coalition For Student Privacy is calling for the Talkspace contract to be cancelled and the website taken down until privacy issues are addressed
