If your administrator or IT department is asking about SLP Toolkit compliance with the Maine student data privacy laws, we've got you covered. You can find information about how to comply with the regulations below. Although we are well versed in privacy rules, we are not legal experts (we stick to speech pathology and software). So you should consult your district about how to fully comply too.

1. Useful information

You can view all the student data elements that we collect, along with the reason we collect them in the knowledge base article below. You can print out a copy or save a PDF for your records.

We use subcontractors to store and access student data. Their information and their policies concerning privacy and security are listed in the knowledge base article below.

SLP Toolkit complies with FERPA and more information can be found in the article below.

SLP Toolkit uses best practices to securely store and transmit data to the SLPs with authorized access. You can read more about how we keep your data safe in the article below.

2. Data Sharing & Privacy Agreement

The Maine Student Privacy Alliance (MESPA) is made up of Maine School Districts that set common standards and expectations for student privacy. Here is a link to the Maine Student Privacy Alliance within the SDPC. MESPA

For school districts that are MESPA members within the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC), we've got you covered. You can download the agreement they have provided here (click here)

NOTE: If your district would prefer a generic agreement, you can generate and download a signed data sharing & privacy agreement (DSPA) using this form (click here).

Hopefully, this demystifies the Maine student privacy laws and you can get on with helping the students. As always, let us know if there are any questions about this or other privacy standards by sending an email to privacy@slptoolkit.com or contacting support.
