Canvas (Instructure, Inc) & Zoom:
In order for Foothill- De Anza Community College District (“FHDA” or “District”) to provide your student with the most effective tools to enhance their learning, FHDA teachers may use various web-based educational program applications.

Under federal law called the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) these commercial educational websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information. The law permits school districts to consent on behalf of parents to the collection of student personal information. This will mean that you will not need to provide consent on each and every web-based program that requires parental permission – the District will do that for you.

Instructure’s privacy policy is available at https://www.instructure.com/policies/privacy. In addition, our webbased learning will be integrated with ZOOM, an online video and audio web conferencing platform, of which sessions may be recorded for instructional use. Your permission is required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your child’s personal information in connection with the De Anza Community Education programs offered through the Canvas course management platform and its online learning environment. FHDA website accounts provide access to FHDA content, materials, and resources relating to FHDA’s programs and activities, including programs offered through the De Anza College Community Education program. Unfortunately, if you do not provide this consent, your student will not be able to participate in online programs.
