What to ask before you (or your kids) use an app
It's reasonable to want to verify before you trust. Here's what actually matters and where to check.
Federal and state privacy laws, workflows, and compliance by state
If you want to know exactly what's required in your state—roles, laws, and workflows—we lay it out. Federal laws (FERPA, PPRA), state-specific laws, who does what, and what your state actually requires. Pick your state and get the details.
Select your state
50+ states are SDPC members; we're adding full ecosystem guides state by state. Utah is available now as a model.
Increase your knowledge and push for better practices
Knowing the facts reduces guesswork and gives you a clear role. We're not here to calm you down—we're here to give you what you need to act.
Structured training on what the law says, how vetting works, and how to talk to vendors—aligned with the SDPC framework. No fluff; you leave with something you can use and cite.
We point you to trusted partners and tools so you can verify at the source.
