Protect Your Learners and the Data They Generate
At 1EdTech, we know educators and students are using an even greater variety of edtech products for teaching and learning. Student data privacy is essential in a digital learning ecosystem. That’s why 1EdTech members created the TrustEd Apps™ vetting process to guide institutions and edtech suppliers toward secure data use, collection, and sharing.
Through the TrustEd Apps Program, 1EdTech regularly vets the policies of hundreds of edtech companies of all types using an open standard privacy rubric designed and utilized by 1EdTech members.
TrustEd Apps gives institutions and suppliers a helping hand to reduce the time and worry spent determining whether a particular edtech tool meets today’s expectations in data privacy.

Working Together to Ensure Safeguards Are in Place
Digital Resources Vetted for Privacy and Security
Our 1EdTech member community developed a comprehensive, thorough, and certified privacy policy vetting process to ensure your educational technology fulfills requirements for privacy, security, and responsible usage of the information gathered.
In the last few years, technology use has grown, along with the need to ensure student data is secure. The TrustEd Apps rubric meets what we consider critical needs for review and will be a big burden lifted for school districts, especially smaller ones like Gainesville City that don’t have the capacity to do this on our own.
As a state, we collaborate well, and the ability to easily share our experiences with different tools will be extremely valuable to every district in Georgia.
As technology quickly infiltrated the schools, everyone did their own thing to find the best tools they could, but they were adding tools without any process. Now, we have more control, and TrustEd Apps is an incredible first step to check vetting, and then move onto other things including matching content to curriculum and other requirements specific to our district.
Bibb County - Member Story
The Bibb County School District in Georgia hopes to empower teachers and administrators to find effective tools that meet the district’s standards for data privacy, through 1EdTech’s TrustEd Apps program.
The TrustEd Apps Product Directory vets privacy policies so districts and schools can see if the tool is worth investigating further before investing too much time into negotiations. The goal is to find the best tools while still protecting student information.
