School: New app for data protection issues
The new app from the data protection commissioner of the canton of Zurich provides quick answers to questions about the processing of personal data at schools.
With the launch of the Privacy encyclopedia app for Android and iOS smartphones, the answers to data protection questions in the school sector can be found quickly and easily. A comprehensive alphabetical keyword index - more than 70 - can be used to navigate directly to the detailed information sought without detours. The practical instructions - from A for address lists to Z for cooperation with services outside the school - are listed in clearly understandable language.
In addition to brief and concrete explanations of the legal situation, the app also includes numerous references to further information, whether from the data protection officer himself or from other institutions. In addition, the app also enables direct contact with the data protection officer if there are still any uncertainties.
The data protection encyclopedia app answers the questions of all those concerned in the area of schools in the Canton of Zurich. It is available free of charge via the corresponding app channels Google Play for Android and App Store for iOS. The app will be expanded in the future with additional specific encyclopedias on other complexes of questions such as residents' registration or universities.
