What we know about this broker

Confirmed on 2026-06-16. National Student Clearinghouse is a nonprofit that holds postsecondary enrollment and degree data for 3,600+ institutions. They operate under FERPA and explicitly state they are not a 'business' under CCPA and therefore not CCPA-subject. However, they are registered as a data broker in Vermont and accept privacy requests via email to [email protected] or phone (703) 742-4200. An online SSO portal exists at nscsso.my.site.com/student/s/ (requires login/institution auth). The main deletion/access path for individuals is email. Nevada residents have a specific statutory opt-out channel at [email protected] requiring name, DOB, institution names, and last 4 SSN digits. Authorized-agent acceptance not addressed in their policy. Sensitive data flag: minors. FERPA exemptions mean requests may be partially or fully denied; escalate to institution of record if denied. Seed tier was 1 but no public profile rescan is possible — corrected to tier 2 (broker_confirmed).
