Amplify Student Data Privacy and Security

A pioneer in Ƭ12 education since 2000, Amplify is leading the way in next-generation curriculum and assessment, with our programs providing teachers with powerful tools that help them understand and respond to the needs of every student. Central to that work is building trusting partnerships with school districts and the parents and students we collectively serve, and supporting educators in using data in a way that is safe, secure, and effective. We demonstrate that commitment in part through the robust data privacy and security practices we maintain to protect student data entrusted to our care.

Core Principles:

These core principles guide our operations, employee behavior and product development:

  • Customer Control: We help school districts securely manage their personally identifiable student information. The districts direct our use of the data, and control who has access to that data and with whom it is shared.
  • Educational Purpose: Personal student information can only be used for customer-authorized purposes to support student learning through the secure and effective operation of our educational tools.
  • Transparency: School districts, teachers, parents and students have the right to know what information is collected by school technology, how it is used and by whom, as clearly described in our .
  • Commitment: Privacy and security are thoroughly embedded into our organizational practices. We dedicate substantial resources to systems, processes and personnel required to protect student information.
