Frequently asked questions

What does data privacy certification mean for an EdTech product?

Data privacy certification indicates the vendor has had their data practices independently reviewed and verified against a defined set of privacy standards. This typically covers what data is collected, how it is used, how long it is retained, and whether it is shared with third parties.

How is data privacy certification different from FERPA compliance?

FERPA is a specific US federal law with defined legal requirements. Data privacy certification is often a broader, independently verified standard that may go beyond FERPA's minimum requirements — covering areas like data minimisation, transparency, and student rights that FERPA does not explicitly address.

What should districts look for in a vendor's privacy documentation?

Ask for a privacy policy written in plain language, a data processing agreement (DPA), answers to standard questions (many states publish standard DPA templates), and a clear statement of what data is collected, why, and for how long.
