It requires the data operator (in your case, the school) to have a clear privacy policy and give students\u2019 parents control. It includes acquiring verifiable parental consent to collect children\u2019s data and notifying parents of any information about their children collected by the website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is <a href=\"https:\/\/studentprivacy.ed.gov\/ferpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FERPA<\/a> (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This federal law specifies access to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/personally-identifiable-information-in-google-workspace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personally identifiable information<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the educational environment. It requires schools to protect the privacy of student records and to make them available, on request, to parents, eligible students (over 18 years old), or a third party if an eligible student or parent has given written consent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance with this Act ensures that student education records are kept private and stored securely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aicpa-cima.com\/topic\/audit-assurance\/audit-and-assurance-greater-than-soc-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOC 2<\/a> (Systems and Organization Controls 2)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SOC 2 is a compliance standard created by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It indicates how organizations should safeguard customer (school) data from unauthorized access and security risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SOC 2 Type II report describes how efficiently the organization\u2019s systems handle sensitive information in the cloud. The compliance report is customized to each organization&#8217;s needs and evaluates trust services criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why COPPA &amp; FERPA Compliance Matters for Student Data Management Services<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before entrusting sensitive data to external edtech providers, educational institutions should research their privacy standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stakeholders who are <\/span><b>compliant with COPPA, FERPA, and SOC 2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are firmly committed to creating a secure data environment for all customers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain secure systems and controls continuously, with data integrity and security as a priority for user identity management.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure robust children&#8217;s online data privacy, protecting them from the harmful behavior of bad individuals and inappropriate content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Require parental consent to collect personal data from children under 13 years old and inform parents if they share collected data with third parties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitor student online activity for suspicious activity to prevent data breaches and other cybersecurity risks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide solutions and policies to restrict access to sensitive data stored in the school domain to authorized users only.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safeguard student data integrity, keeping personal information accurate and storing it only in the school system for educational purposes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>GAT Labs, Your Trusted Partner in Student Data Protection<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shielding user data privacy is critical in the evolving world of new technologies.
