Don’t know what a privacy agreement is and why it’s necessary for us to set up your class? Here’s an explanation!

What is a privacy agreement?

A privacy agreement, also known as a data processing agreement in this case, is an agreement between a data controller (such as a company) and a data processor (such as a third-party service provider). In this scenario, your school district will issue Knowt a privacy agreement to sign so that we enter an agreement to protect your and your students’ privacy. Essentially, it regulates any personal data processing conducted for business purposes.

Why does Knowt need a privacy agreement signed?

Knowt needs to have the privacy agreement signed to ensure that all personal data is confidential and well-protected.
Privacy agreements allow for compliance with data protection laws, which ensures your data is securely handled and kept private. In essence, a privacy agreement is needed to safeguard personal data, comply with laws, and define the terms of engagement between companies involved in processing data.
