What is the Privacy Tab?
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
The Privacy tab found within your organization's Product Library is intended to be a central hub of product-specific information. Most of the information presented in the privacy tab can be found scattered across the Internet, but we have aggregated components of this information and added local contexts and statuses to create a hub for product data privacy.
Finding the Privacy Tab
- Log in to your page on https://app.learnplatform.com or through your Single-Sign-On.
- You should arrive at your organization’s library. If that is not the correct library, then use the drop-down options in the top left to select your organization.
- In the product library, hovering over the product you are interested in will display a small menu of actions - select DETAILS
In the details page, many privacy details are already visible such as badges that indicate the product is a signatory of the Student Data Privacy Pledge, a participant of the Unicorn Project, or that (if the school or district is participating) this product is Approved and/or Compliant.
For greater detail we can navigate to the Privacy tab
