FERPA compliance provisions are operationally significant because they define the legal boundaries for handling sensitive student data and establish requirements for data security, access controls, and disclosure practices. These provisions also clarify Chegg's obligations when functioning as a contractor or service provider to schools rather than as a direct service to individual students.
