Compliance by design

Privacy, compliance, and trust — built in

US (FERPA) and EU (GDPR), set automatically per school. Regulated buyers get what they need out of the box. No legal-review rabbit hole.

COPPA compliant

No personal data collected from students — only nicknames and age ranges. No ads, no third-party trackers.

GDPR export & deletion

Article 15 data export triggered by the school owner. Account deletion with a 30-day grace window, then automated cleanup.

Versioned consent

Per-user consent tracking across Privacy Policy, Terms, Cookie Policy, and DPA. When a new version ships, users re-consent before continuing.

Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

Downloadable Dutch-language DPA PDF — generated on demand and signed per school.

Audit logging

60+ action types logged with school, user, IP, and timestamp. Super-admin reviewable, exportable.

Hardened by default

JWT with refresh-token rotation, reCAPTCHA v3 on registration, Redis-backed rate limiting, HTTPS everywhere.

Device management

Every device approved by you.

Per-classroom device approval with a clear pending / approved / rejected audit trail. Auto-accept, case-by-case, or off — the policy is yours.

What's different

Compliance by design, not as a bolt-on

Hybrid FERPA (US) / GDPR (EU), resolved automatically from the school's country. GDPR Article 15 data export and account deletion with a 30-day grace window. Versioned consent tracking across Privacy, Terms, Cookie Policy, and DPA. Audit logging across 60+ action types. A downloadable DPA in Dutch. Built in, not added later.

  • Per-user consent versioning with enforcement
  • Audit log, rate limiting, reCAPTCHA-protected registration
US & EU

One platform, two legal frameworks

Your compliance model is set automatically from your school's country — no extra setup. US schools operate under FERPA/COPPA; every other country under GDPR.

FERPA / COPPA

United States — FERPA / COPPA

Samio acts as a School Official under your district's direct control. Class rosters are directory information (opt-out), and account closure anonymizes and retains de-identified education records for your archival obligations.

GDPR

EU / EEA / UK & beyond — GDPR

Samio is your Data Processor under a signed DPA. Peer visibility is opt-in per student, and account deletion purges all personal data after a 30-day grace period.
