Seal Spotlight Series: Celebrating Data Privacy Leaders in Education
“At Panorama, we believe AI in schools must be safe by design. That’s why security and privacy are foundational to every Panorama product. Our platform meets best-in-class standards and is supported by secure infrastructure districts can trust.”
-Sabina Sobhani, Sr. Director of Product, AI/Solara
Transforming Education by Empowering Educators
Panorama Education is focused on ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive in school and in life. Supporting over 15 million students in 2,000 districts across all 50 states, Panorama helps educators transform teaching, learning, and student support at scale.
Panorama unifies student data, MTSS workflows, and engagement insights so districts can deliver the right support at the right time. Panorama Solara— a customizable, district-wide AI platform—empowers educators to help every student succeed by turning insights into clear next steps, strong documentation, and smart decisions.
Why Privacy Matters More Than Ever
As digital learning tools and AI-powered experiences become standard in classrooms, expectations around student data protection have risen sharply. District leaders face growing regulatory scrutiny, while parents increasingly want clear assurances that their children’s information is handled with care. In this environment, privacy cannot be an afterthought or a box to check; rather, they are foundational elements of trust.
Building Trust: Panorama's Privacy Safeguards Earn a Top Rating
Panorama’s platform was built with a foundation of privacy and security, which was key to earning the Common Sense Privacy Seal. Panorama’s products meet rigorous regulatory requirements and align with leading education data privacy standards, including SOC 2 compliance and guidance from organizations such as the Student Data Privacy Consortium.
Additionally, Panorama’s AI products adhere to strict safeguards that protect student and district data, maintaining trust with users through a holistic approach.
- Information is not used to train AI models. Student data stays within a school district’s Panorama environment.
- Safeguards for student and district data come first. Student data is governed by robust controls designed specifically for K–12 environments.
Panorama received the Common Sense Privacy Seal following a rigorous and collaborative process, a process Panorama teams said validated their practices while helping to improve clarity and accessibility. The result: a privacy posture that is not only compliant, but also truly meaningful to the districts and families it serves.
“Student data is an enormous responsibility. For well over a decade, Panorama has supported schools in using student information thoughtfully and responsibly. As EdTech and AI evolve, ongoing privacy monitoring helps ensure we continue innovating in ways that protect student, family, and educator trust without compromise.”
– Danny Johnson, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Panorama Education
Looking Ahead
Panorama’s work doesn’t stop at certification. As privacy regulations evolve and AI capabilities expand, the company is building on its partnerships with superintendents and district leaders nationwide to ensure solutions continue evolving to reflect real school needs and local control.
By combining thoughtfully designed AI and privacy safeguards built specifically for K–12, Panorama is demonstrating that innovation and responsibility are not competing priorities; they are mutually reinforcing.
For other EdTech providers watching the rapid rise of AI in schools, the message is clear: privacy leadership beyond compliance is no longer optional. Independent validation builds trust with districts and families, and that trust drives adoption.
Panorama Education has embraced that standard. The question for others is whether they are ready to do the same.
