October 1, 2019 — iKeepSafe announced that it has awarded a FERPA privacy badge to Caduceus International Publishing Inc., a leading provider of e-textbook and online interactive health science curriculum to hundreds of colleges and universities across the country.
iKeepSafe’s FERPA badge is the first independent assessment program for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The program seeks to help educators and parents identify edtech services and tools that protect student data privacy.
“Since 2003, Caduceus has been delivering innovative health science curriculum to students while safeguarding their privacy,” Said Ryan Fagerberg, President of Caduceus International Publishing. “We are proud to be FERPA compliant and now fully recognized by iKeepsafe for our continued commitment to users’ privacy.”
“We congratulate Caduceus International Publishing Inc on demonstrating their commitment to privacy by obtaining the iKeepSafe FERPA badge,” said Amber Lindsay, Vice President of iKeepSafe. “Schools are increasingly relying on independent, third party reviews of technology companies in order to determine the quality of their privacy and safety practices. They can now feel confident that Caduceus International Publishing Inc meets iKeepSafe’s standard of quality in this area.”
Products participating in the iKeepSafe FERPA assessment must undergo annual re-evaluation to continue displaying the iKeepSafe FERPA badge. For the evaluation, an independent privacy expert reviewed Caduceus International Publishing Inc, its privacy policy and practices, as well as its data security practices.
