​HB1612 (codified at RSA § 189:66)
RSA §189:66 minimum standards are applicable only to applications or systems that collect student or teacher personally identifiable information (“PII”).  Many of the resources on this page can be utilized without providing any PII, and when utilized in such a way do not present any RSA §189:66 compliance issues.  Be aware, however, that some such programs may ask for PII on an optional basis.  For resources that do require PII, RSA §189:66 is implicated.  Pursuant to the EO 2020-04 Emergency Order #7, dated March 18, 2020 (“Order #7”), any resource that meets the Department of Education’s (the “Department”) minimum standards is deemed to be compliant with RSA §189:66. 
 
Please note that, for resources that do require PII, it is a best practice to provide the least amount of PII possible to achieve functionality, even if the resource is compliant with 189:66.  Please refer to Student Data Privacy Best Practices Guidance.    
 
While the Department cannot certify that any specific resource is or is not compliant with minimum standards, the Department has compiled the following list of resources and indicated its current understanding of each resource’s status with regard to the Department’s minimum standards.   
 
*Resource does not require collection of PII.
 
**Approved by NH-COSN and presumptively compliant with DOE minimum standards
 
***Approved for use by at least one NH school district pursuant to its local data and privacy governance policy and presumptively compliant with DOE minimum standards.
 
****The Department has reviewed the data privacy policies made publically available by the vendor.  Assuming that the representations made in the privacy policies are accurate, the application appears to meet or exceed the Department’s minimum standards.
