Yes. Legends of Learning is fully compliant with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to protect student data privacy. The platform’s privacy practices are publicly documented, and it is committed to collecting, using, and disclosing student information in accordance with these U.S. federal laws and applicable regulations.
What is FERPA and why does it matter for schools?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of students’ educational records, including personally identifiable information. FERPA gives parents (or eligible students 18+) rights to access and correct educational records, and controls how those records may be disclosed.
When schools or districts use third-party technology vendors, FERPA requires that those vendors handle student records in a manner that protects confidentiality and restricts unauthorized disclosure.
What is COPPA and how does it apply?
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. law that requires online services directed to children under 13, or that knowingly collect information from children under 13, to follow strict rules for parental consent, notice, and data handling.
COPPA protects the privacy of young learners by requiring:
Clear, public privacy policies
Parental notification and verifiable consent before collecting personal data
Transparency about how data is used and shared
How does Legends of Learning comply?
According to the official Privacy Policy:
Legends of Learning is fully COPPA compliant and FERPA compliant, reflecting a commitment to protecting student and educator privacy.
The platform collects and uses information only as necessary to provide educational services, and clearly discloses how personal and usage data are handled.
Legends of Learning’s data practices are governed by a privacy policy that publicly describes collection, use, and protection of student information.
Does Legends of Learning share or sell student data?
As required under FERPA and COPPA, educational technology providers must not share personally identifiable student information without proper consent or a legitimate educational interest. Legends of Learning’s public privacy policy affirms its compliance with these laws and does not authorize selling personal student data.
If a district or school enters into a data agreement with Legends of Learning, that agreement will include specific terms outlining how data is handled in compliance with FERPA and COPPA.
How can schools and parents verify compliance?
To ensure compliance in district or school use:
Review the Legends of Learning Privacy Policy publicly posted on the website.
Confirm that FERPA/COPPA safeguards are included in vendor agreements and data-sharing contracts.
Follow your district’s student privacy review process before adopting new technology.
Federal guidance (e.g., from the U.S. Department of Education’s privacy office) emphasizes that transparency, documentation, and clearly written privacy policies are key components of compliance.
Does Legends of Learning comply with additional privacy protections?
In addition to FERPA and COPPA, many schools also consider state-level student privacy laws, which may add requirements beyond federal standards. These can include enhanced protections for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and parental rights regarding data access and deletion.
