We’re proud to share that Blocksi has officially earned the 1EdTech® Data Privacy Certification. This recognizes our commitment to protecting student data and upholding the highest privacy standards in education technology.

After a comprehensive review of our privacy policies, data security measures, and internal safeguards, Blocksi met the requirements outlined in 1EdTech’s TrustEd Apps™ vetting rubric.

This certification also confirms Blocksi’s alignment with key global and national data privacy regulations. These include GDPR, FERPA, and COPPA, ensuring schools can confidently use our solutions while meeting legal requirements.

A Commitment to Student Data Privacy

“Getting the 1EdTech Data Privacy Certification shows our commitment to doing things the right way when it comes to student data,” said Fuad Bahou, CEO at Blocksi. “Schools rely on us for classroom management, filtering, and student safety—and we take that responsibility seriously. Privacy and security are part of how we design every Blocksi solution.”

The TrustEd Apps rubric evaluates critical areas such as data collection practices, front-end security, third-party data sharing, and advertising policies. It was developed through collaboration with education and industry leaders across K-12, higher ed, government, and the broader edtech community.

As a proud 1EdTech Consortium member, we at Blocksi commit to advancing responsible, interoperable technology that supports students, educators, and IT administrators alike.
