Persónuvernd og stafrænt skólastarf

Til að tryggja öryggi barna og unglinga þarf að vanda val á stafrænni tækni sem nýta á í skólastarfi.

Reykjavíkurborg hefur sett sér persónuverndarstefnu byggða á persónuverndarlögum. Skólastjóri ber ábyrgð á notkun stafrænnar tækni í skólastarfi ásamt því að sinna upplýsingaskyldu gagnvart foreldrum. 

Góð stafræn borgaravitund felst meðal annars í því að koma vel fram hvert við annað í netheimum sem og í raunheimum.

Processing of personal data in Google Workspace for Education

Reykjavik City primary schools have decided to work with certain personal data of students using the Google Workspace for Education Plus learning environment as part of their schools' teaching practices.

Processing personal information in Chromebook

When using Chromebook, hereafter device, students' personal information is processed.

How do we ensure the security of personal data?

The City of Reykjavik and the primary schools safeguard personal data through appropriate organizational and technical measures, including access controls.

The above processing of personal data has undergone a risk assessment and a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).

Privacy Policy

The City of Reykjavik stresses the importance of ensuring that all processing of personal data within the municipality is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the privacy legislation, as well as the policies of the City’s departments and central administration. The Policy applies to any processing of personal data on behalf of Reykjavik City, including the activities of the City’s councils and committees, as well as activities where a third party has been entrusted with performing tasks on behalf of Reykjavik City.

Digital technology

The adoption of digital technologies in school and recreational settings requires a risk assessment. Due care must be given to the selection and use of software for schooling in order to ensure the safety of students.

The City of Reykjavik 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
  • How to delete data and accounts at the end of schooling or when the software is no longer in use

Managers at each location are responsible for informing parents about what digital technology is used and how.

 

What data is processed?

Personal data that is processed:

  • Basic information about the student, their name and primary school.
  • Basic information about parents when they are asked to confirm terms of use on their devices.
  • The devices have a camera and a microphone. The camera comes with a shutter that blocks out the camera. The microphone is generally turned off, but can be turned off manually by going to the device settings.
  • In general, location data is not collected. The location of the device can be traced if it is lost or stolen, but otherwise that information is not collected. It is also possible to view which user last logged in to a tablet and on which IP address. If a device is lost or stolen, the device is locked and information is deleted from the device within a specified time limit.
Sensitive personal data is not processed on the devices.

Where does the information come from?

Access information from the devices comes from the student account for Gschool created by the primary school based on the basic information on the student at the school. A student may enter personal information on the device, but teachers will implore students not to enter personal information on the device in accordance with the device terms of use and education to parents and students.

Basic parental information is obtained from Mentor/Namfus to ensure parental confirmation of the terms of use on the devices.

How long is the personal data kept?

It should be pointed out that according to Act No. 77/2014 on the Public Archives, part of the documentation shall be deposited at the Reykjavik Municipal Archives as the City is an entity subject to an obligation of transfer.

Other than that, the information will be stored in Google Workspace for Education during a student's studies, and it will be deleted three months after the student has finished their studies at the school and has returned the device to the school.

Taking & Publishing Photographs

The student shall comply with the rules of the school and the City of Reykjavik as well as the national legislation on taking and publishing photographs. The taking and publishing of photographs in the City’s school and recreational activities are subject to specific guidelines.

It is important that students themselves are not the main subject of the photos and image editing is only allowed as part of project work.
