directly from the LEA. In the event the Provider is compelled to produce Student Data to a Third Party in
compliance with a court order, Provider shall notify the LEA at least five (5) school days in advance of the
court ordered disclosure and, upon request, provide the LEA with a copy of the court order requiring such
disclosure.
5. Notices. Any notice delivered pursuant to the DPA shall be deemed effective, as applicable, upon
receipt as evidenced by the date of transmission indicated on the transmission material, if by e-mail; or
four (4) days after mailing, if by first-class mail, postage prepaid.
6. Parent Right to Access and Challenge Student Data. The LEA shall establish reasonable
procedures pursuant to which a parent, as that term is defined in 105 ILCS 10/2(g), may inspect and/or
copy Student Data and/or challenge the accuracy, relevance or propriety of Student Data, pursuant to
Sections 5 and 7 of ISSRA (105 ILCS 10/5; 105 ILCS 10/7) and Section 33 of SOPPA (105 ILCS 85/33). The
Provider shall respond to any request by the LEA for Student Data in the possession of the Provider, for
purposes of affording a parent an opportunity to inspect and/or copy the Student Data, no later than 10
business days from the date of the request. In the event that a parent contacts the Provider directly to
inspect and/or copy Student Data, the Provider shall refer the parent to the LEA, which shall follow the
necessary and proper procedures regarding the requested Student Data.
7. Corrections to Factual Inaccuracies. In the event that the LEA determines that the Provider is
maintaining Student Data that contains a factual inaccuracy, the LEA shall notify the Provider of the factual
inaccuracy and the correction to be made. No later than 90 calendar days after receiving the notice of
the factual inaccuracy, the Provider shall correct the factual inaccuracy and shall provide written
confirmation of the correction to the LEA.
8. Security Standards. The Provider shall implement and maintain commercially reasonable security
procedures and practices that otherwise meet or exceed industry standards designed to protect Student
Data from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure, including but not limited to
the unauthorized acquisition of computerized data that compromises the security, confidentiality, or
integrity of the Student Data (a “Security Breach”). For purposes of the DPA and this Exhibit G, “Security
Breach” does not include the good faith acquisition of Student Data by an employee or agent of the
Provider or LEA for a legitimate purpose of the Provider or LEA, so long as the Student Data is used solely
for purposes permitted by SOPPA and other applicable law, and so long as the Student Data is restricted
from further unauthorized disclosure.
9. Security Breach Notification. In addition to the information enumerated in Article V, Section 4(1)
of the DPA Standard Clauses, any Security Breach notification provided by the Provider to the LEA shall
include:
a. A list of the students whose Student Data was involved in or is reasonably believed to have
been involved in the breach, if known; and
b. The name and contact information for an employee of the Provider whom parents may
contact to inquire about the breach.
10. Reimbursement of Expenses Associated with Security Breach. In the event of a Security Breach
that is attributable to the Provider, the Provider shall reimburse and indemnify the LEA for any and all
costs and expenses that the LEA incurs in investigating and remediating the Security Breach, including but
not limited to costs and expenses associated with:
a. Providing notification to the parents of those students whose Student Data was compromised
and regulatory agencies or other entities as required by law or contract;
b. Providing credit monitoring to those students whose Student Data was exposed in a manner
during the Security Breach that a reasonable person would believe may impact the student’s
credit or financial security;
c. Legal fees, audit costs, fines, and any other fees or damages imposed against the LEA as a
result of the security breach; and
d. Providing any other notifications or fulfilling any other requirements adopted by the Illinois
State Board of Education or under other State or federal laws.
11. Transfer or Deletion of Student Data. The Provider shall review, on an annual basis, whether the
Student Data it has received pursuant to the DPA continues to be needed for the purpose(s) of the DPA.
If any of the Student Data is no longer needed for purposes of the DPA, the Provider must delete such
unnecessary Student Data or transfer to the LEA such unnecessary Student Data. The Provider shall
effectuate such transfer or deletion of Student Data and provide written confirmation of said transfer or
deletion to the LEA within thirty (30) calendar days of the operator becoming aware that the Student Data
is no longer needed for purposes of the DPA.
If the LEA receives a request from a parent, as that term is defined in 105 ILCS 10/2(g), that Student
Data being held by the Provider be deleted, the LEA shall determine whether the requested deletion
would violate State and/or federal records laws. In the event such deletion would not violate State or
federal records laws, the LEA shall forward the request for deletion to the Provider. The Provider shall
comply with the request and delete the Student Data within a reasonable time period after receiving the
request.
12. Public Posting of DPA. Pursuant to SOPPA, the LEA shall publish on its website a copy of the DPA
between the Provider and the LEA, including this Exhibit G.
13. Subcontractors. By no later than (5) business days after the date of execution of the DPA, the
Provider shall provide the LEA with a list of any subcontractors to whom Student Data may be disclosed
or a link to a page on the Provider’s website that clearly lists any and all subcontractors to whom Student
Data may be disclosed. This list shall, at a minimum, be updated and provided to the LEA by the beginning
of each fiscal year (July 1) and at the beginning of each calendar year (January 1).
