As an educator or administrator, you can view product privacy data on the Privacy tab of the product Details page of LearnPlatform. The Privacy tab is a central hub of product-specific information that is located at various sites across the Internet. The Privacy tab displays the aggregated components of this information and includes local contexts and statuses to create a hub for product data privacy.
LearnPlatform promotes student data privacy compliance at the district, school and classroom level by:
- Communicating what’s safe and approved for use district-wide or at the school-level
- Standardizing how products are requested, reviewed, and approved
- Building privacy compliance into edtech review and procurement processes
- Sharing information on edtech use with parents and other stakeholders
- Empowering more informed decision-making by aggregating privacy insights from trusted third parties
Note: If you are not in a participating district, then we cannot display local context. We will note those items below.
