EduPage & the GDPR

For EduPage, security is a big concern. Learn how EduPage is commited to the GDPR and what you have to do to comply with the law.

General Data Protection Regulation

On 25 May 2018, European data protection legislation (GDPR) replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. The GDPR strengthens the rights that individuals have regarding personal data relating to them and seeks to unify data protection laws across Europe, regardless of where that data is processed.

This document contains the measures and commitments that EduPage provides and guarantees to the schools in order to meet GDPR compliance .

What are your responsibilities?

EduPage customers act as the data controller for any personal data they provide to EduPage in connection with their use of EduPage’s services.

Data controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, while the data processor processes data on behalf of the data controller. aSc Applied Software Consultants s.r.o is a data processor and processes personal data on behalf of the data controller when the controller is using EduPage Cloud Platform.

Data controllers are responsible for implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and demonstrate that any data processing is performed in compliance with the GDPR. Controllers’ obligations relate to principles such as lawfulness, fairness and transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and accuracy, as well as fulfilling data subjects’ rights with respect to their data.

Data controllers are required to only use data processors that provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Here are some aspects you may want to consider when conducting your assessment of EduPage services.

What can you do?

You can count on the fact that EduPage is commited to GDPR compliance.

We are also committed to helping EduPage customers with their GDPR compliance by providing robust privacy and security protections built into our services over the years.
