"Calendly is not directed to children under eighteen (18) years of age, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 18. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with Personal Data, we will promptly delete such Personal Data from our systems. For educational service providers and schools, please see our FERPA and COPPA Privacy Policy and Notice.Excerpt from Calendly's Privacy Notice
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: COPPA governs the collection of personal data from children under 13, enforced by the FTC. FERPA governs educational records and is enforced by the U.S. Department of Education. By setting its age threshold at 18, Calendly establishes a more restrictive policy than COPPA requires, which eliminates the need to distinguish between the 13-17 age group under the COPPA framework but does not itself create additional legal obligations. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for standard commercial use. The reference to a separate FERPA and COPPA policy for educational institutions indicates that educational use cases create distinct compliance obligations; educational institutions deploying Calendly should review that separate policy rather than relying solely on this notice. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The U.S. Department of Education has jurisdiction over FERPA compliance. The FTC has jurisdiction over COPPA. Educational institutions in all U.S. states are subject to FERPA; state-level student privacy laws in California (SOPIPA), New York, and other states may create additional obligations for ed-tech deployments. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Educational institutions and K-12 schools contracting with Calendly should review the referenced FERPA and COPPA Privacy Policy and Notice to assess whether Calendly's data practices are consistent with their obligations as FERPA-covered entities. Data use agreements required under FERPA should be confirmed to be in place. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Educational institutions should not rely on this general privacy notice for FERPA and COPPA compliance assessment; the separate policy referenced should be reviewed and evaluated against applicable educational privacy requirements. Ed-tech procurement teams should confirm that Calendly's data practices for student data are limited to authorized educational purposes.
