Student Data Privacy Services for Educational Institutions
Fast-track your district's ability to acquire signed student data privacy agreements for all of your apps.
The TEC Student Data Privacy Alliance has developed a successful collaborative model to provide member school districts with the administrative and legal support required to negotiate privacy terms with software vendors.
Our process is simple and affordable. By joining our alliance, you can jump-start student data protection with access to over 1,700 pre-negotiated vendor-signed data privacy agreements (DPAs). Begin by identifying the applications your district uses that collect student Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and then leverage the existing agreements we provide. If we don't have a DPA for an application your district uses, we will collaborate with the vendor in an attempt to secure one. Our goal is to handle all the necessary work so you can rest assured that your student data is being managed securely and safely.
We utilize a multi-state version of the Student Data Privacy Consortium’s National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA), which articulates the vendor duties and responsibilities required to protect student data in compliance with all applicable federal and state privacy statutes, including the FERPA, PPRA, and COPPA. Our multi-state Alliance provides significant leverage in our capacity to negotiate with vendors of all sizes.
Our team uploads all vendor-signed DPAs to the Student Data Privacy Consortium’s Resource Registry, ensuring immediate and exclusive access for our TEC SDPA member districts.
