The IMS TrustEd Apps program uses IMS member-established criteria to evaluate edtech applications’ policies for using and sharing student data and personally identifiable information. Applications that earn the seal should also demonstrate compliance with applicable privacy laws such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
