What is student data privacy?
Quick answer
Student data privacy covers how a school and its partners collect, store, share and delete information about children, under frameworks such as India's DPDP Act, the GDPR and FERPA.
NASCA partnerships include a data-protection one-pager covering DPDP, GDPR and FERPA obligations before rollout begins.
In context
The workable principles are simple: collect the minimum, name the purpose, limit who can see it, and delete it when the purpose ends.
Any programme entering a school should be able to hand a principal a one-page account of exactly this.
