Approved teaching solutions

Care must be taken in selecting and using software for school activities to ensure the safety of the students and their data.

Before digital technology is implemented in schools and for recreational activities, an extensive analysis process is conducted, which includes risk assessments, processing agreements, and evaluating the impact on data protection. The principal is responsible for the use of information technology in their school and must educate parents about the approved use of the teaching solution.

Extensive analysis process

The City of Reykjavík follows a specific procedure and software is evaluated, among other things, on:

  • Age restrictions
  • Collection of personal data
  • Whether data is stored inside or outside Europe
  • Whether ads are associated with usage
  • Whether the software collects metadata and log data
  • Whether the software creates personal profiles used for marketing purposes
  • How to delete data and accounts at the end of schooling or when the software is no longer in use
  • That the software meets information security requirements such as regular updates
