IDLA Approved Apps

Protecting Student Data Privacy

At IDLA, our top priority is protecting students’ digital safety and privacy. While only Preferred and Approved apps are displayed here, many of the tools we use in instruction are classified as Approved Limited.

Approved Limited means an app meets IDLA’s vetting standards but has conditions to protect student data. These conditions may include:

• No student logins or account creation

• No personal data collection or storage

• Limited use for a specific assignment or project

• Restrictions on publishing, saving, or sharing content within the app

• Additional teacher guidance on how to use the tool safely

This careful approach allows us to balance instructional needs with strong protections for student privacy, aligning with COPPA, FERPA, and the 1EdTech TrustEd Apps Data Privacy Rubric.

If you have questions about a specific tool or want more information about its rating, please contact support@idla.org.
