• Choice – consumers must be given options how information is collected and may be used
• Access – consumers able to view and contest accuracy and completeness• Security – data collectors must take reasonable steps to assure information
is accurate and secure from unauthorized use• Enforcement – mechanism to impose sanctions for non-compliance – critical
for regulation

What is the TLE Seal?
The TLE Seal is a mark of distinction for school systems, signaling they have
taken measurable steps to assure the digital privacy of student data.
How is the TLE Seal different from other privacy pledges and programs?
The TLE Seal is the only privacy assurance program for school systems, and developed by K-12 school leaders
for K-12 schools.
Who is eligible to earn the TLE Seal?
School systems of all governance structures; public, private, charter and parochial. Individual schools within a
larger system are not eligible.
Does earning the TLE Seal ensure a school system has complied with federal and/or state privacy laws?
Compliance with applicable privacy laws should be considered the minimum
standard. The TLE seal considers practices that may not be required by law, but are
important to protect student data.
