Q: Which states can join Omella's data privacy agreement?

Districts in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia can join today. If your state isn't listed, ask us at ops@omella.com. We may already have an agreement there.

Q: What if my district isn't in one of these states?

Data privacy agreements are state-specific, and we may already have one in your state. Email ops@omella.com and we'll work out the best way forward with you.

Q: What if I can't find Omella in the SDPC registry?

New agreements can take a few days to appear. Email ops@omella.com and we'll send you a copy directly.

Q: Do we need to create our own Parents' Bill of Rights?

No. If you're in New York, your district already has a Parents' Bill of Rights, and Omella agrees to follow it as part of the agreement.

Q: Is Omella FERPA, COPPA and SOPPA compliant?

Yes. Omella is FERPA, COPPA, SOPPA, NY Ed Law 2-d and PCI compliant, and does not sell student information.

Q: Where can I find Omella's security documents?

The Omella Security Overview and the Data Security and Privacy Plan are on our data security and privacy resources page.

Omella has signed the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement. Districts in California, New York, Illinois and many other states can join it by signing Exhibit E, instead of negotiating a new agreement from scratch.

Two ways to join our agreement

The NDPA is a standard agreement used across many states, so your district can join the one we've already signed instead of negotiating a new one from scratch.

Your district uses the SDPC registry

Sign in at privacy.a4l.org.
Search for Omella's signed agreement.
Sign Exhibit E to join it.

Go to the SDPC registry

Your district doesn't use the registry

Sign a copy of Exhibit E.
Email it to ops@omella.com.
Your district joins our signed Burlington School District agreement.

Email ops@omella.com

Either way, once Exhibit E is signed, your district is bound by the same privacy protections as our Burlington School District agreement. Need help? Email help@omella.com.
