Summary

Most educational applications are designed and managed by vendors who attempt to protect the identity of the individuals accessing the program and the data that they generate. However, a comprehensive review of student privacy, data security, and other safety issues is the responsibility of the school or district to ensure that appropriate safeguards of student data are in place. Vetting educational applications can provide additional assurance that the information gathered by these educational applications is being used responsibly.

The 1EdTech process for vetting applications and certifying them for the Data Privacy standard uses a rubric that was collaboratively developed by the 1EdTech community. Vetted products that earn the TrustEd Apps Data Privacy seal are listed in the 1EdTech Product Directory.
