FERPA Rules Added to Privacy Scoring System

School districts can now determine if apps and websites meet data sharing guidelines under FERPA. More specifically, the privacy quality scores page now contains a FERPA check so that users can understand if apps or websites meets FERPA rules.

The FERPA check passes if the privacy policy states that school districts (and/or students and parents) maintain ownership of student data, and also that student data is never used for non-educational commercial purposes like targeted advertising, profile creation, or data sales.
