Security & Compliance
How ServeSeal protects student data. FERPA compliant, encrypted at rest, US-hosted, no third-party data sharing.
Built for student data from day one
ServeSeal was designed from the ground up to handle student records securely. Every architectural decision — from immutable ledgers to row-level security — prioritizes data integrity and FERPA compliance.
Data Protection
- All data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
- Hosted on US-based infrastructure (Supabase/AWS)
- No student data shared with third parties, ever
- Row-level security enforces role-based access at the database level
FERPA Compliance
- ServeSeal is designed for FERPA compliance
- Student PII is only accessible to authorized school/district personnel
- Parents and eligible students can request data access or deletion
- We sign Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with districts on request
Contact security@serveseal.org for DPA requests.
Access Control
- Role-based access: students see only their own data, supervisors see only their queue, school admins see only their school
- All admin actions are logged in an immutable audit trail
- Session tokens expire after inactivity
- Optional SSO via Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
Data Integrity
- Every verified hour is cryptographically signed (SHA-256)
- Ledger entries are immutable — no one can alter or delete verified records
- Signature includes: claim ID, hours, service date, supervisor ID, and timestamp
Data Retention & Deletion
- Student records are retained as long as the district account is active
- Districts can request full data export or deletion at any time
- Student transcripts remain accessible to the student even after graduation or school transfer
