Software in schools
Care must be taken in selecting and using software for schooling to ensure the safety of 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.

- 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
