REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Business asset transfers involving student education records implicate FERPA (20 U.S.C. §1232g), which restricts disclosure of education records to third parties without student or parental consent; a successor entity would need to establish an independent FERPA-compliant basis for retaining such records. COPPA (16 C.F.R. Part 312) requires that any new operator of a service collecting children's data obtain fresh verifiable parental consent before using that data in ways materially different from those consented to by the original operator. CCPA §1798.140 and CPRA provisions require that the successor entity honor existing consumer opt-outs and privacy rights.
