DATA PRIVACY & STUDENT PROTECTION
Safeguarding Learner Information & Institutional Trust
Review our comprehensive data security commitments, FERPA alignment protocols, and automated information-purging standards designed to ensure student reflection tools remain secure, compliant, and under local district control.
Our Privacy Principles
Protecting Student Data by Design
The NHLI BEST Framework and New Hampshire Learning Initiative (NHLI) are committed to maintaining the highest standards of student privacy and data security. Our interactive reflection tools, rubric generators, and digital planning frameworks are built from the ground up to empower educators and students without compromising personally identifiable information (PII).
Core Data Protection Commitments
No Permanent PII Storage
Our interactive forms generate customized PDF outputs on the fly. Once a session is complete and a PDF is created, all user inputs are automatically purged from our web servers. We do not maintain a database of student responses.
FERPA & COPPA Alignment
All digital tools and reflection protocols comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Learner outputs remain strictly under local district and classroom control.
Zero Commercial Data Exploitation
We do not harvest, store, or retain student or educator data—and because we do not have access to your information, it cannot be sold, rented, monetized, or shared with third-party commercial entities, advertisers, or data brokers.
Secure Technical Infrastructure
All data transmitted through our online forms is encrypted in transit using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring that classroom interactions and assessment entries remain private and secure.
For District Administrators & IT Officers
Local Ownership & Control
Because our tools act as real-time PDF generators rather than a centralized student data tracking platform, school districts retain 100% ownership and governance over all generated assessment artifacts. Completed PDFs are stored directly within your district’s secure local drives, learning management systems (LMS), or student portfolios.
Questions & Privacy Support
If your district security team requires custom data privacy agreements (DPAs) or additional technical documentation, please contact our implementation team at nhli@nhlearninginitiative.org
