FERPA Compliance

Overview

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student education records. LucidRead is designed to be fully compliant with FERPA requirements.

Student Data Protection

LucidRead does not collect, store, or transmit any student data. There are no accounts, no user profiles, no analytics, and no tracking. Students can use LucidRead without providing any personal information.

No Education Records Accessed

• No student names, IDs, or identifiers collected
• No academic performance data accessed
• No grades, attendance, or disciplinary information stored
• No data shared with third parties

Safe for K-12 Classrooms

LucidRead is designed for educational settings:

• No account creation required
• No personal information collected from students of any age
• Works offline after installation (except optional language packs)
• Does not require internet access for core features
• Compatible with school-managed Chrome deployments

District and School Deployment

IT administrators can deploy LucidRead across managed Chromebooks and Chrome browsers using Chrome Enterprise policies. The extension does not require individual student accounts or centralized data collection.

Compliance with State Student Privacy Laws

Because LucidRead collects no student data, it complies with state student privacy laws including SOPIPA (California), NY Education Law 2-d (New York), and similar state-level protections.
