Blocksi’s Ongoing Commitment to Student Data Privacy and Compliance

At Blocksi, safeguarding our users’ privacy has always been a top priority. Since we handle sensitive student and user data, we’ve made it our mission to protect this information from the very beginning. While we’ve consistently prioritized privacy from the start, we also actively comply with new regulations as they arise, such as Ohio’s Senate Bill 29. Our commitment to data protection is integral to our services, ensuring that privacy is maintained across all parts of our product.

A Long-Standing Dedication to Privacy

All Blocksi products are intended for noncommercial educational purposes. School district preferences and requirements largely determine the specific data elements shared with Blocksi. Our platform is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing schools and districts to choose the extent of information they wish to share. This empowers educational institutions to maintain control over their data while benefiting from our solutions.

Compliance with Privacy Laws

Blocksi is committed to complying with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including:

• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
• Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• Applicable rules on data breach notification
• Relevant state or local regulations, including student data protection laws

We continuously monitor and adhere to any additional data protection regulations relevant to each school district’s jurisdiction. Furthermore, recent developments like Ohio’s Bill 29 reflect a growing trend toward stricter privacy regulations, and we proactively adapt our practices to meet these evolving standards.

Flexible Data Management

Our commitment to safeguarding student data and ensuring compliance with state laws is ongoing. Our Admin Dashboard is one of the tools where we offer robust privacy settings, allowing administrators to manage how data is collected and stored. Key features include:

• Data Ownership: Users retain complete ownership of their data, which can be accessed or deleted upon request.
• User Controls: Administrators can create reports tailored to their preferences, with flexible options to review and manage stored data over time.
• Anonymization Options: The platform provides features that enable anonymized reporting and analytics, ensuring that individual identities remain protected during data analysis.

Anonymization Techniques

Anonymization is integral to our data management practices. By applying robust techniques to anonymize user activity, enforce privacy protections, and limit data retention, we safeguard user information from unauthorized access. Moreover, this approach not only reinforces privacy but also ensures adherence to international data protection standards. As a result, we can maintain high levels of data security and compliance.

Proactive Adaptation to Evolving Laws

As privacy laws continue to evolve, Blocksi remains committed to regularly updating our policies and practices. This includes:

• Adapting to New Regulations: We proactively adjust to new laws like Ohio’s Senate Bill 29, emphasizing transparency and user consent in data collection practices.
• Continuous Monitoring: We stay vigilant about any additional data protection regulations relevant to school district jurisdictions.

Our Commitment to You

Blocksi is dedicated to protecting the personal data of our clients and their stakeholders. Moreover, by prioritizing privacy and implementing effective anonymization techniques, we ensure that user privacy remains at the forefront of our operations. Our comprehensive approach to data protection demonstrates our unwavering commitment to providing secure, compliant, and effective educational solutions.
