On 18-20 November 2020, the Committee of Convention 108 of Council of Europe adopted Guidelines on Children’s Data Protection in an Education Setting. These Guidelines set forth the fundamental principles of children’s rights in an education setting and help legislators and policy makers, data controllers as well as the industry to uphold these rights.
The Guidelines follow and build on a report on “Children’s Data Protection in Education Systems: Challenges and Possible Remedies” by Jen Persson, director of defenddigitalme.
