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.

security features to protect the privacy of student data. You agree that Jupiter shall not be liable if Schools or Instructors neglect to use these security features properly. 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.

You agree that Jupiter shall not be liable for how Schools or Instructors collect and use Students' personal information.
