Our student privacy promise
ESAT 912 is designed to meet FERPA. This page summarizes our approach for district review.
The district owns the data
Each district signs a data agreement. SATRDE acts as a "school official" under FERPA and uses student records only to provide the service.
We collect only what's needed
No Social Security numbers, no home addresses, birth year only. No ads, no tracking scripts. Student data is never sold and never used to train AI.
Strict separation and logging
Data is separated by district and school. Teachers see their own rosters, counselors see assigned students, and every view of a student record is logged and exportable.
Parent and student rights
Parents can view, download and request corrections. At age 18, those rights move to the student. Directory-information opt-out is supported.
Retention and deletion
Districts choose how long records are kept after graduation and can request deletion at any time.
Under-13 and state laws
Sign-ups under age 13 are blocked (COPPA). We provide a state privacy checklist (e.g. Tennessee, California SOPIPA) and a Student Data Privacy Consortium agreement template.
