How does Adobe Express for Education protect K-12 student data?

Adobe Express for Education K-12 accounts are built to meet K-12 student data privacy needs and are different from Adobe Express commercial accounts. K-12 account holders deployed on Enterprise or Federated IDs have the following protections:

  • Education specific privacy controls: Adobe Express for Education K-12 licenses, deployed with Federated or Enterprise IDs, are built to meet student privacy obligations. View our Adobe Student Privacy page for details.

  • Easier login: Ability to set up single sign-on so students can easily log in with their existing school ID.

  • Institutions can purchase access to Creative Cloud All Apps for students, faculty, and staff.

  • Individual students can purchase Adobe Express or Creative Cloud All Apps (including Adobe Express) at a special discount for students and educators.

If new customers do not have access to Adobe Spark for Higher Education, how should colleges and universities support student access to Shared Device environments?

  • Previously, customers were guided to deploy Spark to all users requiring shared device license access in order to give users access to Spark, storage, services, and SSO capabilities.

  • Storage, services, and SSO will continue to be supported through deployment of Creative Cloud Shared Device Access, but will not include Spark or Adobe Express apps for new customers.

What if I am a K-12 institution, but I was accidentally using the higher education Spark offer?

Once you switch to the K12 Adobe Express for Education offer, your students and teachers will get access to everything Adobe Express for Education offers at no cost to your school or district.
