Explanation

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1974 that protects the privacy of student education records. It applies to all educational institutions - from K-12 schools to universities - that receive any form of funding from the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents (and students over 18) rights to access, review, and request corrections to education records, and restricts their disclosure without consent. The other options address different sectors: HIPAA governs healthcare data privacy, COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) governs online data collection from children under 13, and GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) governs financial institutions' handling of consumer financial information.
