COPPA Compliance

Dear Families, 

Nativity School of Worcester utilizes several computer software applications and web based services, operated not by this school, but by third parties, to assist with the education of your student.  In order for our students to use these programs and services, certain personally identifying information, generally consisting of the student’s name and their school email address, must be provided to the web site operator.  Under a federal law entitled Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA), these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information.  For more information on COPPA, please visit: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/privacy-and-security/children%27s-privacy

Each website operator is bound by COPPA to maintain the confidentiality of the information collected.  They are also required to post a privacy policy describing their practices.  A full list of the third parties that operate applications and services utilized by the school, as well as links to their respective privacy policies may be found on our website at: https://nativityworcester.org/coppa-compliance/ 

COPPA permits a school district to consent to the collection of this information on behalf of all of its students, thereby eliminating the need for individual parental consent given directly to each individual website operator.
