How does this differ from security training?
Privacy and security are two separate disciplines with some overlap. The focus of our privacy training is on legal compliance with the patchwork of federal and state student privacy laws and managing risks associated with parent and student expectations of fair and reasonable uses of data. These modules will compliment (instead of repeating) information from trainings you may already be using to cover security topics like phishing attacks and strong passwords.
Who should take it?
Laws like New York’s Ed Law 2-D specify that, minimally, all staff who access student or teacher data must take a training on federal and state laws. Content may also be relevant to other staff, even if they do not have direct access to student data, including those in leadership roles, operations, sales, and security.
What does the training cover?
The current training ‘bundle’ has three modules, which cover the following content areas:
Privacy Fundamentals:
This opening module explains why privacy is important and the differences between privacy and security. This training also covers how to comply with all of the major federal privacy laws that edtech companies need to know (COPPA, Section 5 of the FTC Act, FERPA, PPRA), lessons from how all of those laws are enforced, and a high-level overview of major themes from state student privacy laws.
National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA):
This module will explain the challenges with negotiating privacy terms directly with schools and walk through how the Student Data Privacy Consortium’s National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) solves these problems. Learners will also become familiar with the many requirements of this standardized agreement, including how to handle parent requests, place proper restrictions on advertising, respond to a data breach, de-identify and dispose of data, and negotiate vendor-specific terms.
New York State Student Privacy Law:
This module will provide an overview of the different entities that play a role in public education, including BOCES and RICs, and walk through the requirements of Ed Law 2-D, including those related specifically to contracts, limitations on commercialization of student data, security standards, and data breach response. The training will explain how the law is enforced and also provide examples of lessons learned from state enforcement actions. There is also an overview of other state laws which may be relevant, including the Child Data Protection Act and State Technology Law 106-B.
