At HelpKidzLearn, we understand the importance of safeguarding student privacy, especially when it comes to educational data. That's why HelpKidzLearn Hub is FERPA compliant, ensuring a secure and trustworthy learning environment for all students.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law in the United States that protects the privacy of student educational records. This can include information like grades, attendance records, and health data. FERPA grants parents certain rights regarding their child's educational records, such as the right to inspect and review those records, and the right to request that any inaccurate or misleading information be corrected.
HelpKidzLearn Hub empowers educators and supports student learning while prioritising FERPA compliance. We collect minimal student data essential for the platform, such as usernames chosen by educators and progress data for personalised learning. Schools, acting as intermediaries, obtain parental consent before collecting any student data. We also maintain robust security measures to protect student information, and schools can manage student data within the Hub, while parents have the right to request access through their school. This approach builds a secure learning environment where educators can confidently manage student data and parents have the peace of mind knowing their child's educational information is protected.
To ensure our FERPA compliance practices are effective, HelpKidzLearn Hub has undergone a rigorous assessment process by iKeepSafe, a leading non-profit organisation championing child safety and privacy online. This process demonstrates an alignment with FERPA requirements through a documented review including data collection practices, user agreements against FERPA guidelines, security measures and more. By undergoing this assessment process, HelpKidzLearn Hub has demonstrated a strong commitment to FERPA compliance.
By adhering to FERPA regulations, HelpKidzLearn Hub provides a secure learning environment where educators can confidently manage student data, and parents can have peace of mind knowing their child's educational information is protected.
