VEO sports recording and DPA

[TechMonkey]

Just wondering if anyone here is using Veo recorder in their schools and if they are, if they had any issues with the Data Protection side.  We are going through it and their data processing statement has lots about data being sent to the US, interesting data sub processors, and that they take on the role of Data Controller to use the data for their own purposes.  Our DPO is strongly against any of that, which I don't disagree with, but I know these are used extensively throughout schools and sports clubs so wondering how this aligns.  I can't believe we are the first to notice this, but it feels that the contract is unworkable for a school.

nope, that sounds like an instant not-a-chance. What's the actual use case though, what does it offer that you can't do just by recording with any ipad or camera and do with as you need?

Ohh we know, that is where we are at, much to the chagrin of the PE department. But I know lots of schools use it. I know lots of clubs use it.  I'm trying to work out how.

I know of it, but we don't have any in our schools to fully know the pro's and con's but I imagine the benefit they like is that it automatically tracks the ball in a football match - rather than someone manually moving the camera.

Yep, it would be a massive timesaver for the Sports Department, we are all for it.  But their data processing agreement has lots of troubling stuff in. Either they have an Education specific data agreement they don't advertise on their website, schools aren't reading that, are Ok with that or a third option I can't think of.
