Student Data Privacy

Falcon View Online is associated with the Wabasha-Kellogg School District and uses industry best practices to protect the privacy of all of our students and families. When our online educational platforms are used as part of a School’s educational mission or a family enrolls their student in Falcon View Online, the personal information related to the student users (“School Users”) that is (i) provided to Falcon View Online by a parent, student or School, or (ii) collected by Falcon View Online during the provision of our services to a student or School, may include information defined as “educational records” by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) or other information protected by similar student data privacy laws. We call this information “Student Records.”

FERPA Privacy Rights

FERPA provides students with privacy rights and protection for educational personally identifiable information collected and processed on behalf of educational institutions receiving government funding from the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA provides students with rights to obtain from these educational institutions access to their educational records, as well as correction and amendment of their educational records. For more information on FERPA, students and families should refer to the FERPA policy in their respective student handbook.

Please note, only personal information directly relating to the educational interest of a student which is (1) created by a School User, and (2) created by a School (for example, when a School creates the user name, login and password to establish School User accounts), are designated as Student Records.

Children Under 13

Falcon View Online and the Wabasha-Kellogg School District is concerned about the safety and privacy of children online. We take reasonable efforts to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) as well as state-specific laws that provide privacy protections for K-12 students.

The Websites are not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under the age of 13, and we do not and will not knowingly contact or collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. The only personal information we receive about children under the age of 13 is information provided by the parent or legal guardian or information provided by the child as part of that child’s participation in a course or courses as part of that child’s K – 12 education program. By enrolling a child in such course or courses, a parent is consenting to the collection of that information.

It is possible that by fraud or deception by others we may receive information pertaining to children under the age of 13. If we are notified of the receipt of information under such circumstances, once verified, we will promptly obtain parental or guardian consent, and in the absence of such consent, will delete the information. If you want to notify us that we have inadvertently received information for a child under the age of 13, please do so by emailing us at: info@wkfalcons.org

You can request to review, edit, or prohibit personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 13 from being used by Connections, its affiliates, schools, and vendors acting on behalf of Connections by making a request in writing to info@falconviewonline.org. Please note that if you make a request to prohibit personally identifiable information from being used by Falcon View Online, or the Wabasha-Kellogg School District and vendors acting on behalf of Falcon View Online or the Wabasha-Kellogg School District, it will not be possible for your child to participate in Falcon View Online’s program.
