5-MO NDPA V1 Jan82022.pdf

DISCLAIMER for MOREnet’s Missouri NDPA The Student Data Privacy Consortium (“SDPC”) has developed the “National Data Privacy Agreement” (“NDPA”). The SDPC formed a DPA Project Team consisting of individuals from schools, state organizations, marketplace providers, and legal organizations to develop this standard template that addresses the common student data privacy issues that need to be addressed in contracts with vendors that handle student data (see https://privacy.a4l.org/national-dpa ) .

The Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet), a department of the University of Missouri System, has joined the SDPC and has established the Missouri Student Privacy Alliance, which all MOREnet Member schools are eligible to join. As such, MOREnet is making the NDPA available to its members as a resource for informational purposes only; it should not be relied on as legal advice. While MOREnet believes this is a well-developed tool, MOREnet makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the information contained in the NDPA. Should you elect to use the NDPA as a resource, we strongly encourage you to obtain your own legal counsel in drafting and/or entering into vendor agreements that pertain to student data. There may be unique needs of your school or systems that need to be addressed or other provisions that you believe are critical, which can be set forth in Exhibit H.

Exhibit G is intended to include any specific Missouri laws that apply to student data, which may be applicable to your school. However, laws are constantly subject to change and new ones can be enacted. Additionally, there may be other laws or National or Missouri guidelines or standards that are applicable to your school with which you must comply. MOREnet is not representing that the laws set forth in Exhibit G are the only laws, guidelines, and/or standards which should be included, as applicable to you and/or to a specific vendor agreement. Your own legal counsel should be consulted and any additional terms you may require should be added to Exhibit H.

However, for the purpose of this DPA, the term “Third Party” when used to indicate the provider of digital educational software or services is replaced by the term “Provider.”
