In the rapidly evolving landscape of educational technology (EdTech), the digital transformation of learning brings unprecedented opportunities for personalized education and administrative efficiency. However, this progress comes with a profound responsibility: safeguarding sensitive student data. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) stands as a cornerstone of student data privacy in the United States, mandating strict controls over how educational records are managed, accessed, and disclosed. For EdTech providers, achieving FERPA compliance is not merely a legal obligation but a fundamental trust-building exercise with students, parents, and educational institutions.
