There are a number of federal standards for student data privacy out there, and you may be wondering how SLP Toolkit complies with each of them. Note that your state may have specific statutes or laws which apply too. We've compiled a convenient list for our organizations and SLPs to reference below.
1. FERPA
The most applicable federal standard concerning student data is the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). It lays out some of the most basic things a school official like SLP Toolkit needs to do. We've compiled our responsibilities (and yours as an organization) into an easy-to-digest document for your convenience. You can download it with the link below.
2. HIPAA
SLP Toolkit is not a covered entity under HIPAA, and is not a business associate of any covered entity under HIPAA. As a result, The Company is not required to comply with HIPAA standards. If you or your organization are a covered entity under HIPAA, and are required to sign business associates agreements with all 3rd party vendors and contractors, please send an email to the address below requesting additional information about a business associate agreement.
3. COPPA
