Section I - Securing the Privacy of Student Data

MobiusMath Corporation hosts a collection of related websites that work together to provide a complete educational solution. Some of these websites, as parts of the Premium Subscription, involve student logins and the processing of student data. The following sections regard those websites and the student data that is collected and processed.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

Congress has enacted a law called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) which is designed to protect children's privacy during use of the Internet. MobiusMath Corporation has implemented the following practices, which are consistent with the guidelines provided by the Federal Trade Commission to date. MobiusMath Corporation will continually monitor developments in this area and update our practices. If you would like more information about COPPA, please go to http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html.

The Children's Internet Protection Act

The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law enacted by Congress in December 2000 to address concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers. CIPA imposes certain types of requirements on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the E-rate program - a program that makes certain technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. In early 2001, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued rules implementing CIPA. MobiusMath Corporation student programs are self contained and do not provide links to external resources or chat rooms. Moreover, MobiusMath Corporation programs do not contain any offensive or inappropriate matter. As a result, any school or library that uses Mobius will be fully compliant with CIPA. If you would like more information about CIPA, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/cipa.html.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. MobiusMath Corporation is fully compliant with FERPA.

If you would like more information about FERPA, please go to http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.

Specific Steps Taken to Secure Student Data

Any sensitive online information is transmitted over secure, encrypted channels via HTTPS.
All student data are stored on secure servers utilizing firewalls and other advanced technologies and are only accessible via HTTPS and with proper authentication.
All student performance data is stored in an obfuscated format.
Security audits are continuously performed to ensure data integrity.
MobiusMath Corporation does not share student information with any third parties. If a school requests that student data should be sent to a third party, MobiusMath Corporation sends the data to the school and never directly to the third party.
