Schools and universities need to redact student records and footage to comply with FERPA and protect personally identifiable information before sharing records with parents, attorneys, law enforcement, or media. VIDIZMO Redactor automatically removes faces, names, ID numbers, and other student identifiers from video, audio, and documents.
FERPA treats video as an education record when it directly relates to a student and is maintained by the institution. When footage shows multiple students, schools must redact other students' identities before granting access if redaction does not destroy the record's meaning. VIDIZMO Redactor automates this segregation requirement.
Under FERPA, schools must redact personally identifiable information including student names, addresses, dates of birth, ID numbers, parent names, biometric data, and any data that could identify a student in combination with other records.

FERPA requires schools to respond to parent or eligible student record requests within 45 days. Manual video redaction frame by frame cannot meet this deadline at scale.
