ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that when Chegg processes student education records on behalf of educational institutions, the data handling practices operate under FERPA restrictions rather than Chegg's standard privacy policy. Students' education records are subject to institutional access controls and disclosure limitations defined by federal law, though Chegg's processing of non-FERPA-covered data may continue under its standard terms.
