According to The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) 20 USC 1232g ( b ) is a federal law enacted in 1974 that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA applies to any public and private elementary, secondary, or post -secondary school. I would also like to add according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) states " There is a need to insure that the consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states 'It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customer 's nonpublic personal information. " ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is a financial institution by definition under that title .15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) section 2 states that " In general subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.
