Data Processing Agreement
Many school districts require a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) -- a contract specifically about how a vendor handles student and district data -- before they can adopt a new tool. If your district needs one to move forward with ShowReady OS, we'll work with you on it.
What a DPA typically covers
- What data is collected and processed, and for what purpose.
- Who can access it, and under what conditions.
- How long it's retained, and how it's deleted when a district leaves.
- Sub-processors involved (see our Privacy Policy for the current list) and how they're bound to the same terms.
- Breach notification procedures and timelines.
Why we don't publish a generic template here
DPA terms are usually negotiated as part of a district contract, and the right terms can depend on your state's specific student-data-privacy laws. Rather than publish a one-size-fits-all document, we'd rather work through it directly with whoever owns data privacy compliance for your district -- that gets you something that actually fits, instead of something that looks complete but doesn't hold up to your district's requirements.
