Certain information regarding students is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or other laws and agreements concerning privacy and private information. You must not submit any information to the Services regarding another person (e.g. student) that you do not have the legal right to submit.

PPS will use Your data only for the purpose of fulfilling its duties under this agreement and it will not monitor or share such data with or disclose it to any third party except as required by law, or as authorized in writing by You. By way of illustration and not of limitation, PPS will not use Your data for its own benefit and, in particular, will not engage in “data mining” of Your data or communications, whether through automated or human means, except as necessary to fulfill its duties under the subscription, as required by law, or authorized in writing by You.

• Authorized representatives of the following agencies: U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or State and local educational authorities. Disclosures under this provision may be made in connection with an audit or evaluation or for the enforcement of or compliance with federal legal requirements.
• Officials associated with financial aid for which you have applied or received if the information is deemed necessary to determine eligibility, amount of aid and the conditions of aid, or to enforce terms or conditions of the aid.
• Organizations conducting studies on behalf of your educational institution to develop, validate or administer predictive tests; administer student aid programs; or improve instruction.
• Accrediting organizations to perform accrediting functions.
• Parents of an eligible student if the student is dependent for IRS tax purposes.
