USDIS ensures that all diploma verification processes comply with U.S. data protection laws, particularly the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). As part of our commitment to privacy and security, we guarantee that academic records are handled with the highest level of confidentiality.
FERPA, enacted in 1974, protects the privacy of student education records. The full text of the law is codified under **20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99**. This federal law regulates how educational institutions manage student records and ensures that personal academic information remains secure. USDIS complies with the following key provisions of FERPA:
- - **Right to Access Records:** Parents and students over the age of 18 have the right to access their educational records.
- - **Right to Amend Records:** Students and parents may request corrections to records they believe are inaccurate or misleading.
- - **Restrictions on Information Sharing:** Educational records cannot be shared with third parties without the student’s explicit consent, except in specific cases such as school transfers or legal obligations.
Additionally, USDIS aligns its data security measures with **ISO 29990** and U.S. federal privacy laws, ensuring that all academic record verification processes are transparent and reliable.
