Simple Higher Ed protects the privacy of faculty, students, and institutions with clear commitments, transparent practices, and enterprise-level safeguards.
For almost a decade, institutions have trusted us to safeguard academic content and student information. Our privacy commitments are built into contracts and rooted in our values: it is your data, you own it, and we act as stewards to keep it safe.
With nearly 500 college and university partners, we understand the need for faculty freedom and autonomy. Our approach protects data while respecting academic independence, supporting privacy, transparency, and institutional flexibility.
We conduct regular privacy audits and reviews, keeping institutions informed of policy changes and subprocessors. Schools always know how their data is handled and who has access. Institutions can also export their data at any time without additional fees. We do not believe in holding data hostage, a practice too common among other vendors.
Your institution’s data belongs to you. We never claim ownership or use it beyond your direction. Our role is stewardship: safeguarding content, applying protections, and ensuring you retain full control. By managing the data responsibly, we give faculty and administrators confidence that their intellectual property and student information are handled with care.
Transparency is at the heart of our privacy program. Our Trust Center provides institutions with documentation, data center details, subprocessors, and compliance resources, so you always know how your data is protected.
