G-Suite for Education

Important Considerations
Please consider your privacy. HEAV is a strong advocate for the privacy rights of homeschool families. We believe families should do their own research on the privacy standards of any program before sharing their child’s information online.
HEAV encourages all homeschool co-ops to put in place policies that keep parents informed as to how their child’s personally identifiable information will be used. We also encourage co-ops to provide the parents with access to their child’s account.
Group [co-op or just leaders] leaders should remember that as with all free programs, the “free” offer can cease to exist at any time.
Questions continue to be raised regarding the lack of full discloser about security risks and data collection. This article,
Google Is Developing Dossiers on Students Using Their Classroom Products, explains some of the risks involved with Gsfe.
You can read Google’s Privacy and Security policy on their website.
Questions about the privacy of your student’s data in GSfE? Contact HSLDA.
