GDPR
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), approved by the European Parliament in 2016, is the most important change within data protection regulation in 20 years. It replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and local law and regulations across the EU/EEA. The new regulation is designed to strengthen the individual’s rights to privacy and harmonize data privacy laws across Europe.
itslearning has been committed to data privacy since it was founded in 1999 and welcomes the new regulation. We will keep doing our part to ensure that all our customers are GDPR compliant. There is a big, untapped potential in using technology and cloud services to improve teaching practices and learning outcomes. One of the keys to unlocking this potential is to earn the trust of teachers, students, and parents. In this sense, the increased focus on data protection and privacy due to GDPR is beneficial for all parties.
We fully comply with the requirements for all of our services, including itslearning, Fronter and SkoleIntra to be GDPR ready. We have been working with GDPR for a long time to analyse the new regulation, and making the necessary changes to our services, procedures, and organization. During the previous months, we made available all documentation, contract addendums, and procedures needed to prove your GDPR compliance.
It is important to say that for the cloud services we provide to our customers and their end users, itslearning is what both existing and new EU regulation defines as a processor. As a processor we do not decide the purpose or lawfulness of the processing, we merely process data on our customers’ behalf. The GDPR regulations force stricter requirements upon all processors of data.
Our commitment to GDPR requires that we work to:
itslearning has a Data Protection Officer (DPO) as defined under GDPR. In addition to monitoring our own compliance and providing advice and training to our own staff, our DPO is available to our customers and their DPOs to discuss data privacy issues.
