The SDPC model Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) have had a huge impact on the K12 EdTech ecosystem by establishing common expectations and streamlining the DPA execution process for both districts and providers.

Since 2016, over 222,000 standard DPAs have been executed and subscribed to.

By applying an average legal fee of $250 per hour, and minimal negotiation time of 1hr for each district and vendor per DPA, these standard DPAs have saved participating districts and vendors over $111 million.
