Trusted Education solution - privacy rating of 4.5/5 as audited by Education Framework
The rating obtained by our education software, NUITEQ Snowflake, is Student Online Privacy Protection Act (SOPPA) compliant.
SOPPA requires clear policies on personally identifiable information, data breaches, breach responses monitoring and FERPA compliance.

Data rights: removal, change, or transfer
Parents, teachers, and educational authorities can request removal, change, or transfer of any student data at any time, by simply requesting it through the content change form. The proof of identity required when requesting a change will be destroyed after the request is complete. At this point, you’ll also receive a confirmation by email informing you the request was completed.
Breach Notifications
We regularly monitor the NUITEQ software for breaches and we have implemented a breach notifications form that allows administrators, IT, and stakeholders to receive breach notifications without a NUITEQ account. We will send breach notifications to all users and those who signed up through the form.
Regulatory Compliance
We use Infrastructure Services to host our products which means that we benefit from their compliance. Therefore, we have the ISO and SOC compliance, contributing to the NUITEQ products being compliant to FERPA and GDPR.
Encryption
When it comes to encryption, our data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We also make sure that we do not record any data that is not necessary for the service itself.
