Privacidad
Tu camino al bienestar es personal.
Sabemos que hay cosas que quieres mantener privadas, por eso nunca compartimos ninguna de tu información con terceros. Hemos diseñado Basecamp para asegurarnos de que puedas acceder a apoyo y completar chequeos de salud mental, sin compartir más de lo necesario.
Para estudiantes de sexto grado en adelante, la información identificable que proporciones se mantendrá confidencial y segura y no se compartirá con nadie a menos que solicites que se comparta con tu equipo de cuidado para ayudar a apoyar tu recorrido y necesidades de salud mental. Tus datos te pertenecen; si dejas de usar Basecamp puedes llevarte tus datos contigo. Ten en cuenta que las madres, padres y/o tutores de estudiantes menores de 18 años pueden solicitar acceso a los datos de su hija/o en cualquier momento.
Priorizando la Privacidad
A continuación, algunas formas en que priorizamos tu privacidad.
Detección Automática
La plataforma mantiene un sistema de Detección de Intrusiones Basado en el Host (HIDS) que detecta automáticamente posibles intrusiones y actividades anómalas. Investigamos, respondemos y resolvemos inmediatamente cualquier problema que se descubra.
Copias de Seguridad de la Base de Datos
Las copias de seguridad de la base de datos se completan automáticamente de forma regular. Las bases de datos están encriptadas, se respaldan cada noche y se almacenan en múltiples ubicaciones.
Políticas Internas
Se han implementado políticas internas exhaustivas para garantizar que la privacidad se mantenga desde una perspectiva administrativa. Todos los empleados reciben una formación extensa en privacidad y seguridad.
Protección de Contraseñas
Todas las contraseñas y preguntas de seguridad están cifradas y y puestas en hash criptográficamente antes de almacenarse. Esto significa que están fuertemente encriptadas y nunca se almacenan en texto plano (visible).
Monitoreo de Acceso
El acceso a la red se inspecciona en tiempo real y se registra de forma permanente. Los intentos de intrusión se identifican y bloquean automáticamente, mitigando los ataques SSH y otros comportamientos maliciosos.
Cifrado Seguro
Los datos se encriptan en tránsito y en reposo utilizando cifrado AES con claves de 256 bits, como lo recomienda el Instituto Nacional de Estándares y Tecnología de los EE. UU. y el Estándar Federal de Procesamiento de Información.
Frequently Asked Questions
Basecamp is designed to be used by students and parents or guardians in Frederick County. Students in grade 6 and above are able to access Basecamp on their own. For students in grade 5 and below, Basecamp is intended to only be accessed by parents or guardians. Parents or guardians have the option to explore Basecamp resources on their own or with their child, but only the parent or guardian is permitted to create an account.
No, Basecamp is available free of charge to all students and their parents or guardians. Funding for Basecamp was made available by the Maryland General Assembly under the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future (Ch. 36 of 2021).
All third-party resources on Basecamp undergo a thorough vetting process to ensure their safety, appropriateness, and effectiveness for students, parents and guardians. The vetting process is conducted by an independent expert consultant who has significant experience in the mental health sector, along with the appropriate credentials in health and well-being. The consultant evaluates several key aspects of each resource, including safety (to ensure no harm or risks are presented), engagement (ease of use and time required), author credibility (verification of credentials and reliability), and evidence basis (supported by credible evidence). Any resource that requires account creation must have an agreement in place to ensure that the vendor meets appropriate privacy, security, and safety standards. Additionally, links to external resources shared on Basecamp will not direct users to content on social media platforms. In addition to an initial review and screening prior to being made available on Basecamp, each resource is reviewed annually by an independent consultant to ensure ongoing adherence to the aforementioned standards.
Privacy and safety of users is a foundational component of the Basecamp platform. Greenspace, the technology provider that powers the platform, is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA-compliant, exceeding local and federal privacy and security regulations. Greenspace supports hundreds of healthcare organizations, including school boards, private clinics, hospitals, and large health systems, and has passed extensive privacy and security reviews by reputable organizations such as Merakey, Sheppard Pratt, Catholic Charities, and UConn Health. Their privacy and security certifications and processes ensure that all personal information is safeguarded and exceeds privacy and security standards.
Basecamp is committed to keeping user data confidential. Identifiable data is not shared with any third parties, including FCPS, counselors or anyone else. For students in grade 6 and above, the information provided remains secure and is not shared with anyone unless the student requests for it to be shared. Users always retain ownership of their data, and if they decide to stop using the platform, they can take their data with them. Parents and guardians of students under 18 may request access to their child's data at any time - Basecamp will comply with all legal requirements, verify the identity of the requester, and then securely share the requested data.
No resource on Basecamp requires account sign-up or collects identifiable information unless it has been fully vetted and meets the more stringent privacy and security standards, as described in the vetting process. If a resource does require account creation and collects identifiable information of users, a formal legal agreement must be entered into between Greenspace and the third party vendor, in order to ensure user data security and privacy standards. Currently, Calm and Lucero are the only resources on Basecamp that fall into this category.
