The Consortium for School Networking's Student Privacy Consortium (CSPC) provides a district-driven framework for evaluating and verifying vendor data privacy practices. CSPC-verified products have been reviewed against a standardised set of privacy criteria developed by school districts — making verification directly relevant to the concerns of district privacy officers and administrators. Unlike purely vendor-reported compliance, CSPC verification involves review by a body representing school district interests. The 0 products on this page carry CSPC verification.

The Student Privacy Consortium (CSPC), operated by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), is a group of school districts working together to improve student data privacy practices across the EdTech industry. CSPC-verified vendors have agreed to a common set of privacy principles and had their practices reviewed.
FERPA is a US federal law setting minimum legal requirements. CSPC verification is a voluntary, district-developed standard that often goes further — addressing data minimisation, purpose limitation, and transparency in ways that FERPA does not explicitly require. CSPC verification signals a vendor is proactively engaged with district privacy concerns.
CSPC is backed by CoSN, which represents thousands of school districts across the US. Many technology directors in member districts consider CSPC verification as part of their vendor evaluation process, particularly for tools handling sensitive student data.
