The whole "EduBlog: Teacher Review Options" thread is informative.
Within the search below try

 - edublog privacy
 - edublog security
 - edublog review

In terms of legal issues, the US has FERPA - a good overview of it
from a "using online learning tools" PoV at
http://docs.moodle.org/en/FERPA , and discussion at
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=77059

While I don't think it is wise to tie oneself too much to the law of a
specific countries, I think we can expect most countries to have a
FERPA-like law now or in the near future.

*It is a good idea to protect kids' privacy* anyway.
