Protecting Student Privacy Is Critical to Our Work

Security & Privacy

Panorama Education’s online survey and data management products are used by school districts in all 50 states. By making it easier for educators to understand how their students are doing, Panorama Education helps schools and districts support students and improve student outcomes.

We take our responsibility to safeguard student information seriously.

We believe that schools are at their best when families, students, and educators have a voice in education. School districts use Panorama’s products to survey students, educators, and families. Panorama's surveys were developed rigorously to produce information that schools and districts can trust.

The surveys cover topics such as whether students feel safe at school, whether families feel welcome, and whether teachers find school to be a supportive place to work. View examples of the survey topics here.

Each school district that uses Panorama’s products decides which tools, offerings, and survey questions are right for that school district's community.

While most school districts select topics and questions to use from Panorama’s survey content, some districts choose to add additional, custom survey questions that help provide additional insight into community-specific interests or needs.

School districts use Panorama’s products to improve how they support students. Each school district decides on the goals that matter for their students and community.

That could look like building students’ relationships with peers and adults, or helping students feel a sense of belonging at school. That could also look like increasing graduation rates and providing academic support to help students learn specific concepts or skills.

The term “data mining” isn’t well defined, and we want to be very clear about what we do not do.

What we do NOT do: One common understanding of “data mining” is the use of data to target advertising to children; we oppose such activities, and we do not engage in them. Panorama does not market, sell, or rent any student's personal information. Panorama does not engage in, inform, influence, or enable advertising to students.Panorama does not collect information from students unless we are performing services for their school or district under a written contract as a service provider. We cannot share any education or student information unless authorized by the school or district or under applicable law.

If you are a parent or caregiver with a question about your child’s information, you should contact your child’s school or district. You can contact your child’s school or district to request access to your child’s personal information, to request information to be deleted, and to request that certain personal information not be collected or used. If a parent or caregiver contacts Panorama with a request or inquiry about their child’s personal information, Panorama will notify the appropriate school or district of the request unless its written agreement with that school or district or applicable law requires otherwise.

Panorama maintains incident response plans that reflect current industry standards and recommendations for technology companies like ours. If an incident or breach involving the integrity, confidentiality, or security of personal information were to happen, Panorama would immediately investigate and work to fix, lessen, or mitigate the effects of any such incident. Panorama would notify affected clients per our written agreements with them and/or in accordance with applicable law.
