Our Commitment to Privacy

This Privacy Policy will bind any future entities that may acquire Wowzers.

To that end, private information including a student, teacher, administrator, or parent/guardian’s name, address, phone number, test scores and other private information concerning the students, parents, teachers and administrators will be kept in a secure location on Wowzers’ private server which cannot be accessed by the public. This information will be shared only with the child’s parent, guardian, teacher, or administrator, unless that information is compelled by legal process or if test scores from a school or district are to be used in research studies where no student names will be used and the study is permitted by the school or district.

  1. The School District, its students, and the student’s parents and legal guardians may retain possession and control of student-generated content, and, if applicable, a student, parent, or legal guardian of a student may transfer student-generated content to an electronic mail account.

  4. Wowzers is designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of student records, student information, and student-generated content. Student data is always securely protected.
  5. Wowzers will notify the student, the parent or legal guardian of a student, and the District as soon as practical, but not later than forty-eight (48) hours, after Wowzers becomes aware of or suspects that any student record, student information, or student-generated content under the contractor’s control has been subject to unauthorized access or suspected unauthorized access.
  6. Wowzers and the District shall ensure compliance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
  7. The Children’s Internet Protection Act :The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law enacted by Congress in December 2000 to address concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers. CIPA imposes certain types of requirements on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the “E-rate” program – a program that makes certain technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. The Wowzers Program does not provide links to external resources or chat rooms and does not contain any offensive or inappropriate matter. As a result, any school or library that uses Wowzers Programs will be fully compliant with CIPA.

Engine Yard is committed to maintaining a safe and secure platform for their customers, business partners, and the broader Internet community. Engine Yard has developed an in-house information security and compliance function that complements the controls that their IaaS provider, AWS, provides.
