Graduation Alliance also collects personal information made available to Graduation Alliance by contracting educational agencies and institutions, such as student names, student identification numbers, e-mail addresses, GPA, grades, courses taken, standardized test scores, and related information.
Graduation Alliance operates in compliance with federal and state school privacy laws, including The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) (“FERPA”). FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records, and applies to all schools receiving federal funding. With certain exceptions, this law prohibits schools from releasing personal information of students under the age of 18 without parental consent. By designating Graduation Alliance as a “school official” and/or a designated contractor with a “legitimate educational interest,” educational agencies and institutions are permitted to share personal information with Graduation Alliance without express, parental consent under the exception provided by 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(1). You may find out more information about FERPA at http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.
The classification as a “school official,” or as a contracted company with a “legitimate educational interest” is described by the Family Policy Compliance Office (“FPCO”). The FPCO’s FERPA policy and advisory materials on this issue can be found at http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/index.html and http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/lea-officials.html.
PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN (if applicable)
Graduation Alliance only receives personal information about your children as set forth in the “Student Records” section above and/or directly from you when you enroll your children into a Graduation Alliance program. If your children are enrolled in a Graduation Alliance program, we will collect, use, and maintain personal information about your children solely (i) to provide Graduation Alliance programs to them and for other authorized educational purposes, and/or (ii) as otherwise authorized by you.
You can review certain personal information that Graduation Alliance has regarding your children by making such a request in writing to privacy@graduationalliance.com. Please be aware that some personal information relating to your children’s educational records may not be able to be disclosed by Graduation Alliance due to state and/or federal law. You can request that your children’s personal information not be used by Graduation Alliance and contractors and service providers acting on behalf of Graduation Alliance by making a request in writing to privacy@graduationalliance.com. Please be aware that if you make such a request, your children can no longer continue to be enrolled in a Graduation Alliance program or to use most features on our Site. Therefore, a request by you for Graduation Alliance and our contractors and service providers to no longer use your children’s personal information will terminate your children’s participation in the Graduation Alliance program in which they are enrolled.
