Hi, We are trying to achieve the same things as the original post but some of our teachers now only have a Chromebook. Does anyone know of a system that can be used to send alerts to both Windows computers and Chromebooks?

Just bumping this thread as I have just been doing the same as jthompson and have come to the same conclusion. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Japan's cyber-security minister has 'never used a computer'
Narwhal replied to jthompson's topic in General Chat
Let's face it most Ministers who do use computers still have very little idea about how they work. -

I think in some cases the wording exists to cover the American law that requires explicit consent from parents for the processing of data that relates to children under the age of 13. They are just being lazy as, in theory, consent would also cover GDPR.

Parental consent required

"Customer will obtain and maintain all required consents from End Users" This is the clause in that document that you linked to but the school does not require active consent. -

I don't think licenses expire. support can expire but the system should carry working regardless. -

That looks like the American version. COPPA is an American law. -

Where in their terms does it say that? -

You do not need explicit consent for most of the activities that take place in a school. Most will be covered under Article 6© compliance with a legal obligation or 6(e) necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest (educating the child). this would cover your MIS and most cloud-based educational sites such as GfE. The sites that you use must be GDPR compliant however. Some activities, it could be argued, are not specifically required for teaching or if you are passing control of the data to and external company, in these circumstances you would need specific consent. For the collection of biometric data you will always need consent. It will depend on the wording with any contract, if it says "you or the educational organization you work for has proper permission to register the Child" you would be ok but the line "and that you have obtained the necessary parental consent for Code.org’s collection of the Child’s personal information" could pose a problem. You shouldn't need the consent but you would be agreeing that you have obtained it. -
