FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) was enacted by Congress to protect the privacy of students and their parents. The act is designed to ensure that students and parents of students may obtain access to the student’s educational records and challenge the content or release of such records to third parties. Canopy Study is fully compliant with FERPA. To learn more about FERPA please go to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Canopy Study takes user privacy and data security seriously. We use commercially reasonable, industry standard measures to safeguard personal information in its possession against loss, theft, unauthorised use, or disclosure. Steps taken to secure student data include the following:
Any sensitive online information is transmitted over secure, encrypted channels via HTTPS. Sensitive information is not transmitted over email.
All student data are stored on secure servers utilising firewall technology and are only accessible via HTTPS and with proper authentication.
If student data needs to be copied to a local machine for providing customer support, the data is always password protected, and is immediately deleted from the local machine upon completion of the support task.
Canopy Study does not share student information with any third parties. If a school/company requests that student data should be sent to a third party, Canopy Study sends the data to the school/company and never directly to the third party.
In the event Canopy Study discovers or is notified of a data breach, we will, as required by applicable federal and state laws, investigate, take steps to mitigate the potential impact, and provide notice of the breach to applicable agencies, and customers. However, despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect and we assume no responsibility for any breaches.
Canopy Study maintains a written Information Security Policy which details specific steps the company will take in the event of a data breach to validate the breach, end the breach, and notify affected parties, as appropriate.
