Privacy Policy

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ABIDE BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THIS SERVICE.

  1. Your Agreement. The Desired Results Access Project’s DR Access Reports (also referred to as: "DR Access Reports", "Desired Results Access Data Reporting System," "Desired Results Access Project Reports," "Desired Results Access Project," "DRAccessReports.org," "the Service," "us," or "our") provides a variety of assessment measurements and other services to assist in education and learning. This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") governs the privacy practices with respect to DR Access Reports, which is accessible through a portal controlled and operated by the Desired Results Access Project.

    PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND DR ACCESS REPORTS CONCERNING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

  2. Our Commitment to Privacy. The Desired Results Access Project has created the Service in order to support the use and administration of the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) (2015) assessment for Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs)1 in California and provides administrators and special education teachers and service providers a comprehensive suite of resources targeted toward this activity. The Desired Results Access Project believes that transparent and strong privacy practices foster this process, and DR Access Reports provides this Privacy Policy in that spirit.
  3. The Scope of Our Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy governs our privacy practices with respect to all personal information that you as an Account Holder submit or that DR Access Reports collects in connection with the Service. This Privacy Policy governs not only our practices with respect to children’s personal information provided by Account Holders, but also with respect to the personal information of Account Holders.
  4. Our Commitment to Local Education Agency (LEA) Ownership and Control of Educational Records.

    4.1 Educational records submitted by the Account Holder, including student and teacher identifiable DRDP assessment information submitted to or stored on DR Access Reports remain the property and under the control of the LEA and the Account Holder as a representative of the LEA. Ownership of pupil records is not transferred to the Desired Results Access Project.

    4.2 Information submitted or stored on DR Access Reports is the sole responsibility of the Account Holder. Account Holders may remove or delete any of the information submitted or stored on DR Access Reports at any time. Account Holders may, at their own discretion, transfer content to a personal or alternative account. This process may be used to enable Account Holders to provide parents or legal guardians opportunity to review and correct personally identifiable information contained in their records.

  5. Our Compliance with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), California’s Education Code and Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

    5.1 FERPA and Education Code Compliance. The Service is designed for teachers and administrators working with individuals from birth to age five years of age with Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) and Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs). The Desired Results Access Project recognizes the sensitive nature of information contained in a school’s educational records. This personal information is protected under FERPA and California’s Education Code. Our privacy practices comply with FERPA, the California Education Code and the confidentiality provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). Users acknowledge that they are subject to FERPA and the California Education Code and agree to maintain all records generated through participation in The Service consistent with the confidentiality mandates contained within these laws.

    5.2 Consent from Schools under FERPA. Under certain conditions, FERPA and California’s Education Code permit a school to provide educational records (including those containing a child’s personal information) to certain service providers without requiring the school to obtain specific parental consent. FERPA and California Education Code permit this where the service provider acts as a type of "school official" by performing services with legitimate educational interests, for example, services that would otherwise be performed by the school’s own employees. The Desired Results Access Project fulfills the FERPA and California Education Code requirement for qualifying as a school official. The Desired Results Access Project refrains from re-disclosing or using personal information except for purposes of providing the Service to the Account Holder. Account Holders maintain control with respect to the use, maintenance, and ownership of the education records at issue (including associated personal information).

As noted, DR Access Reports is a resource that special education teachers and service providers and special education program administrators can use to support the use and administration of the DRDP (2015) assessment.

DR Access Reports uses that information to provide services to those using the Service, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

    The DR Access Project agrees to disclose a breach of the security of DR Access Reports in the event unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person or source. The disclosure will be made in the most expedient time possible, consistent with the needs of law enforcement, or measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the integrity of the data system, where possible within one (1) business day. Notification will be made to designated personnel at the Napa County Office of Education, including the Chief Business Officer. The DR Access Project will comply with all laws and regulations requiring further security breach notifications, including notification of individual Account Holders and coordination with Account Holders and LEAs regarding notification of parents or legal guardians.

  11. Access and Control of Personal Information. Account Holders have access to personal information of the child(ren) for whom they are responsible, are able to print out Reports containing such information, and are able to update this information in the manner permitted by the Service (For additional information about ownership and control of data see Section 4 above). Account Holders are able to access and update their own personal information. The parents of a child can obtain access – through their child’s school – to information concerning their child that is available on the Service. To do so, the parent should follow the Account Holder’s procedures for access under FERPA. The Desired Results Access Project cooperates with and facilitates the Account Holder’s response to these requests for access to information and as required by law. The Desired Results Access Project will update and (where necessary) correct the personal information at issue, as requested by the Account Holder.
  12. Retention and Deletion of Personal Information. DR Access Reports retains personal information for so long as reasonably necessary: (i) to permit Account Holder use of the Service; (ii) to ensure the security of Account Holders and the services; or (iii) as required by law or contractual commitment. After this period has expired, The Desired Results Access Project will securely delete the personal information from our systems. As an additional safeguard, after more than 18 months of inactivity in accessing DR Access Reports, an Account Holder’s account may be suspended requiring the Account Holder to re-initiate their account with the Desired Results Access Project support staff.

    Please understand that these deletion periods apply to personal information and do not apply to de-identified information. The Desired Results Access Project retains de-identified information in accordance with our standard practices for similar information, and does not retain or delete such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, if requested by an Account Holder, The Desired Results Access Project will delete from our systems the personal information of the Account Holder, including its teachers and child (as applicable), as the Account Holder directs. Deleting information may prevent the Account Holder from engaging in some or all features of the Service.

1 The Desired Results System is an accountability initiative of the California Department of Education (CDE) developed to determine the effectiveness of its child development and early childhood special education services and programs. By using the Desired Results Developmental Profile DRDP (2015) assessment, the CDE assures that children enrolled in its infant and preschool programs benefit from those programs. CDE’s Early Learning and Care Division (ELCD) implements statewide assessment of children in its programs using the DRDP (2015). CDE’s Special Education Division implements the DRDP (2015) in Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs) to comply with requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004) and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).

The following children must be assessed with the DRDP (2015):

It is the responsibility of the SELPA Director to assure that all children birth to five who receive special education services from Local Education Agencies (LEAs) participate in the Desired Results System.
