Generate a FERPA and COPPA compliant privacy policy for schools, universities, and EdTech companies. Covers student data protection, parental consent workflows, and classroom technology -- built for K-12, higher ed, and online learning.
FERPA and COPPA impose strict requirements on how schools and EdTech companies handle student information. Non-compliance risks federal funding and FTC enforcement.
EdTech companies acting as "school officials" under FERPA must disclose exactly what student data they collect, how it is used for educational purposes, and who has access within their organization.
Schools must have written agreements with every EdTech vendor specifying data use limitations, security requirements, deletion obligations, and breach notification procedures.
Beyond federal law, states like California (SOPIPA), New York (Ed Law 2-d), and Colorado have their own student privacy requirements that your policy must address.
+ hundreds more EdTech tools and LMS platforms automatically covered
Any time personal information is collected online from students under 13, or when education records are shared outside FERPA exceptions.
Signed consent forms, electronic signatures, credit card verification, government-issued ID checks, or video conferencing verification.
Schools may consent on behalf of parents for educational technology -- but only when the vendor agrees to strict data use limitations in writing.
Parents retain the right to review collected data, request deletions, and withdraw consent at any time. Your policy must document these processes.
Getting parental consent wrong is the single most common compliance failure in education privacy. COPPA and FERPA each have different consent requirements, and your policy must clearly explain both.
PolicyForge generates consent disclosures that cover every scenario -- from direct parental consent for under-13 data collection to FERPA's school official exception for EdTech vendors. The policy includes clear procedures parents can follow to exercise their rights.
