Last updated: 01/01/2026
At Bound, we prioritize the utmost protection of student data privacy. We are dedicated to maintaining a secure and transparent environment where all student information is safeguarded with the highest standards of encryption and data management practices. Our commitment extends to adhering strictly to applicable privacy laws and regulations, ensuring that student data is used solely for educational purposes and never shared with unauthorized parties. We continually invest in robust security measures, regular audits, and employee training to uphold the trust placed in us by students, parents, and educational institutions.
Here’s how we do it:
- We comply with state and federal confidentiality laws including Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA): http://www.ed.gov/offices/OM/fpco/ferpa/, and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemakingregulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule
- We comply with the Illinois Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA): https://www.ilga.gov/Legislation/ILCS/Articles?ActID=3806&ChapterID=17. This means we have established clear and transparent agreements with Illinois school districts to ensure the protection and proper handling of student information.
- We only use student data for the purpose of providing service and support to the student, associated parents/guardians or appropriate school faculty. Student data is never shared with any third parties.
- We ensure that student specific data is not stored on any personal computers and/or external devices that are not password protected.
- We treat all information with respect for student privacy, never leaving student data in any form accessible or unattended.
Rest assured, at Bound, student data privacy remains at the forefront of our mission, providing a safe and secure environment for facilitating your student’s athletic and activity participation.
