How Do You Use Inkscape? Inkscape Credentials for Public School Use "Privacy Vetting Profile"
I was awarded a grant for $1000 to teach CNC and graphic design. My problem is that our district doesn't see any proof that Inkscape follows the privacy vetting profile that districts use to make sure Inkscape is safe for their networks and student Chromebooks.
Does Inkscape qualify for GDPR, FERPA, and COPPA qualifications? If so how do we provide evidence for these credentials. Inkscape would be such a strong asset to many classrooms.
Thank you for your support in this issue.

Inkscape, as a software, does not, in any way, collect or transmit any Personal Information (or any information at all).
Marc, thank you for joining the conversation. I totally agree with you.
As a fan of Inkscape, who in this organization can help the program run through these processes for vetting? Sometimes we need to help connect the dots for leaders for the common good. I need to see if it's possible for Inkscape to pass these hoops for GDPR, FERPA, and COPPA. It literally needs to show up on these vetting sites. Thoughts?
I'm European and don't know anything about vetting websites… I know about GDPR and since there is no collection of data, it does not apply to us. Inkscape is a community project with public source code, so feel free to contact anyone you need to contact to tell them.
Hi Dave,
We've had requests for this before, but we are generally unable to sign things to certify Inkscape in this kind of way as a Free Software project run by volunteers.
But this doesn't mean it can't be done; you can submit Inkscape for whatever certification programs you'd like, if you have the time. Or hire a commercial company to do that certification for you. Companies like Red Hat have traditionally always provided this type of service for organisations that need this kind of red tape.
Don't forget, Inkscape isn't a company and doesn't have any employees.
Note that when people use the Extensions manager or the OpenClipart import, their IP address and search terms will be transferred to our / the OCAL web servers, to be able to serve the request.
