SDPC Vendor Signatory Badge Program
The 29 State SDPC Alliances, representing over 34 million students in approximately 10,000 districts, are proud to partner with marketplace providers to set common expectations in their attempts to build “connected and secure K12 ecosystems” for learners. The SDPC Vendor Signatory Badge Program is a visible representation for those schools and the vendor members who have signed standard Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) establishing those expectations.
There are no additional work requirements for vendors outside of their normal contracting processes with customers to receive the SDPC Signatory Badge specific to their signed state Alliance DPA. Current SDPC Vendor Members who have signed standard Alliance agreements can access their badges automatically through the SDPC Resource Registry.
“The SDPC Vendor Signatory Badge is a great way to show current and potential customers that your company is dedicated to student data privacy. Earning the badge is easy and automatic once you have signed a standard agreement with a customer in that state. Then all new customers in that state will have the confidence and peace of mind of knowing that their data is safe and private with your company.”
“The standard DPAs are the fastest way for vendors to close the contracting loop and get to work. SDPC’s vendor members have done tremendous work speaking up for their legal needs in Alliance DPAs. Most market providers should be able to sign the standard alliance DPAs unchanged, and the badge program will build that momentum. More use of standard DPAs means less time and money spent on negotiations.”
