Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA): U.S. Federal law requires certain student information to be kept private. Jupiter is fully compliant with all requirements of FERPA under the "school official" exception (CFR)§99.31(a)(1), because your data is in your direct control and ownership, and used only for legitimate educational interests and functions that the School's own employees normally perform. FERPA does not require parental consent for such use. Jupiter does not and shall not share any personally identifiable information (PII) with any third party, or use it for non-educational purposes (spam, targeted ads), except when a School or Instructor initiates or enables their own student data (directory information) to be sent to a third party to integrate with other applications.

See our Privacy Policy for more details.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): Schools or Instructors may optionally use the Web App to collect personal information from Students, such as email addresses and phone numbers. U.S. Federal law requires that Schools or Instructors obtain parents' consent before collecting personal information online from Students under the age of 13. (This law does not apply to student information entered by Schools or Instructors; it applies only when the Student enters their own information online.) You agree that Jupiter shall not be liable for how Schools or Instructors collect and use Students' personal information.

European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): This law applies only to the European Union.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): Student health records that are posted to Jupiter are protected under FERPA as education records.
