Frequently Asked Questions
How does GDPR apply to children's data?
GDPR Article 8 requires parental consent for information society services to children under 16 (or lower age set by member states). Privacy notices must be child-appropriate.
What about student data from EU schools?
Schools as controllers determine processing purposes. EdTech providers typically act as processors under Data Processing Agreements. Ensure contracts specify purposes, security, and sub-processor rules.
How do we handle learning analytics under GDPR?
Learning analytics involving profiling may require DPIA. Ensure transparency about how data is used, provide access to insights, and consider automated decision-making restrictions.
