that information according to our customer’s instructions.

federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Incwebs considers Student Data to be strictly confidential and do not use Student Data for any purpose other than improving and
providing our products and services to the Educational Agencies or on the Educational Agencies’ behalf. Our collection, use, and sharing of Student Data is governed by our contracts with
the Educational Agencies, the provisions of FERPA, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and other applicable state and federal laws and regulations that relate to the
