SOPPA Parental Rights Procedures

Parents and guardians have the following rights regarding their child's student data under the Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA):

1. Inspect and Review Student Information
Parents/guardians have the right to request access to any covered information collected or maintained by the school or by third-party operators providing educational technology services.

To request access, parents should submit a written request via email to mercurio@ogschool.org. The school will respond to requests within 45 calendar days, per legal requirements (although it would be extremely rare for a wait time of this length).

2. Request Corrections to Inaccurate Data
If a parent/guardian believes their child’s information is inaccurate, misleading, or violates privacy rights, they may request a correction.

Requests must be submitted in writing to mercurio@ogschool.org with an explanation of the requested correction.

The school will investigate and respond within 90 calendar days, and will either correct the data or provide a reason for denial. Again, it would be very rare for a wait time of this length.

3. Request Deletion of Student Data
Parents/guardians may request that certain data be deleted from school records, subject to legal and educational retention requirements. Deletion requests should be submitted in writing to mercurio@ogschool.org.

The school will determine if the data qualifies for deletion and respond within 90 calendar days.

4. Contact Information

For inquiries about student data privacy, access, correction, or deletion requests, please contact:
