At Screencastify, protecting student data isn’t just a checkbox - it’s a core part of our commitment to the educators, schools, and families who trust us every day. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Screencastify is now officially certified for compliance with three major student privacy regulations:
- California Student Privacy Certified
- Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
- Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
These certifications affirm that Screencastify meets the highest standards for handling and safeguarding student data - giving our users the confidence they need to create, share, and learn with peace of mind.
What These Certifications Mean
CSPC (California Student Privacy Certification)
This certification confirms our compliance with the California Student Privacy Alliance (CSPA) guidelines. It ensures that we only collect data that is necessary for educational purposes, that we use it responsibly, and that we have strong protections in place to secure it.
COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)
COPPA is a federal law that protects the personal information of children under 13. Being COPPA-certified means we do not collect more information than necessary from younger users and that we provide transparency and control to schools and parents.
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
FERPA is a federal law that governs access to student education records. Our FERPA certification confirms that Screencastify allows schools and districts to maintain control over student data and ensures we do not use or share that data inappropriately.
Why This Matters
In today’s digital learning environment, educators and administrators are rightly focused on ensuring that the tools they use are both effective and secure. These certifications are more than just logos on a website - they’re a reflection of our proactive efforts to be a trustworthy partner in K-12 education.
From classroom recordings to student video submissions, we understand that Screencastify plays an important role in learning. With these privacy protections in place, educators can confidently integrate video into instruction while safeguarding student rights.
We’re honored to support more than 12 million users worldwide - and we take seriously the responsibility that comes with that scale.
