BOCA RATON, Fla., April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Processing & Imaging, Inc. (API), a developer of business process automation and document management software today announced that they formally support the K-12 School Service Provider Pledge to Safeguard Student Privacy.
Endorsed by President Obama, this important pledge was announced on October 7, 2014 by The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) and the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). The Pledge's goal is to safeguard student privacy built around a dozen commitments regarding the collection, maintenance, and use of student personal information.
The Pledge is an important step in helping students, parents and educators realize the promise of personalized learning while giving them the peace of mind that technology companies will follow a common set of privacy principles to protect the privacy of student information.

We believe students, parents, educators and school leaders should have confidence in knowing that companies who stand up and commit to the Pledge will use schoolchildren's data for appropriate learning purposes. We believe every student deserves a quality education and should have access to all the tools necessary to be prepared for the future.
Signers of the Student Privacy Pledge have committed to:
- Not sell student information
- Not behaviorally target advertising to students
- Use data only for authorized education purposes
- Not change privacy policies without notice and choice
- Enforce strict limits on data retention
