Stukent Earns 1EdTech Data Privacy Certification
Idaho Falls, Idaho – Stukent, Inc. has earned the 1EdTech® Consortium’s Data Privacy certification after completing a comprehensive review of its student privacy policies, data security practices, and platform safeguards.
The Data Privacy Certification confirms that Stukent meets the expectations outlined in 1EdTech’s TrustEd Apps™ vetting rubric. Certification results are published in the TrustEd Apps Management Suite as part of the 1EdTech’s TrustEd Apps Program. The rubric evaluates key areas such as data collection practices, front-end security measures, third-party data sharing, and advertising policies.
Shari Lewison, Chief Information Security Officer for Stukent: "I am so excited about this milestone certification for Stukent and for our customers. Achieving the 1EdTech Data Privacy Certification reinforces Stukent’s commitment to rigorous security standards across the entire educational spectrum.
For our K-12 and Higher Education partners, this means two important things:
Verified Trust: We have moved beyond self-assessment to third-party validation that our data practices meet the highest standards for security and privacy compliance, ensuring that student and institutional data remain protected.
Operational Efficiency: We’ve listened to our customers' needs for transparency and simplicity; by adopting this framework, we make it easier to do business with us by eliminating the need for manual, detailed privacy questionnaires and reviews.”
Letty Sanchez, Principal Program Manager, Compliance: “We work hard every day to make Stukent easy to do business with — and this certification is that commitment made visible. Our partners can spend less time on compliance paperwork and more time on what matters: helping students succeed. We're proud of this milestone, and we're just getting started."
The TrustEd Apps vetting rubric was developed collaboratively by the 1EdTech community, which includes leaders from higher education, K-12 districts, government agencies, continuing education providers, and edtech organizations.
As a member of the 1EdTech Consortium, Stukent collaborates with educators and industry partners to support standards and best practices that improve digital learning experiences.
