Erin Clancy

As the senior Contract Specialist at CITE, Erin Clancy collaborates with EdTech vendors and California school districts to ensure contractual compliance with student data privacy laws. Erin has played a vital role in reducing risks for both school districts and EdTech providers by successfully negotiating and vetting hundreds of student data privacy agreements, including those with industry giants like Adobe, Scholastic, and GoGuardian. She also spearheaded the development of essential AI terms for the California Student Data Privacy Agreement (CA-NDPA), setting a new standard for data privacy agreements across the nation.

Before joining CITE, Erin co-founded Ripley’s Legal Solutions, a firm that provides remote-hybrid legal document assistance. Erin has handled cases in family law, estate planning, medical malpractice, and personal injury.

Erin’s diverse legal background has given her the analytical skills needed to ensure contractual compliance with the law as well as the ability to discover (and avoid) potential risks for School Districts.

When she’s not working, Erin enjoys racquetball, pickleball, escape rooms, and board games. She is also a self-taught baker and was recognized to be one of the best bakers in the nation as a two-time competitor on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars.
