Account Tree is Committed to Security & Compliance
At Account Tree, we understand the critical importance of protecting sensitive financial and student data. We adhere to stringent security protocols and best practices to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information.
-
Data Security: Our platform employs robust encryption, secure servers, and regular security audits to safeguard your school's financial records and student data. We are dedicated to maintaining a highly secure environment.

FERPA Compliance: We are committed to protecting student privacy and operate in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), ensuring that student educational records are handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. Account Tree prioritizes student data privacy and operates in a manner that supports FERPA compliance for K-12 institutions. It's important to clarify that Account Tree does not collect extensive personally identifiable student data. The only student-related information collected, and only if a district chooses to add them, is an email address and name for login purposes. This minimal data collection helps schools manage student activity funds while upholding their obligations under FERPA to protect student privacy. Account Tree's focus is on financial management, not on gathering or utilizing broad student information.
