Student Data Privacy Information

The Hamden Public Schools district has always taken very seriously the issue of student data privacy. A new Connecticut law that came into full effect on July 1, 2018, has strict requirements that Connecticut school districts must assure are in place for any online tool, application, or other program that collects student data. It requires districts to enter into contracts with service providers to assure compliance with the law (CT 16-189).

In many cases, providers have signed the CT Privacy Pledge with the State of Connecticut Commission for Educational Technology, agreeing to abide by the law's requirements. You can view and download the CT Privacy Pledge document below.
