Blueprint is now FERPA compliant
We completed our FERPA compliance process. Schools and districts can now use Blueprint knowing student data is handled according to federal education privacy standards.
By Thiago Cavalcanti
FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) sets the standard for how student education records must be protected. Any ed-tech tool used in a school setting needs to meet these requirements. We took this seriously from day one, but we wanted to go through a formal compliance review before asking schools to trust us with their students' data.
What this means
Schools and districts can sign data privacy agreements with Blueprint. Student data stays encrypted at rest and in transit. We don't sell student information, period. Access controls ensure that counselors only see their own students' data, and students only see their own profiles.
We also built audit logging so administrators can see exactly who accessed what and when. If a district has specific data retention or deletion requirements, we can accommodate those. This was a prerequisite for working with public schools, and we're glad it's done.
