school privacy

The school privacy tag on WindowsForum covers regulatory and technical issues around student data protection, with a focus on Microsoft's compliance under GDPR. Recent discussion highlights Austria's data protection authority ordering Microsoft to stop tracking cookies on pupil devices, citing lack of valid consent and non-educational data use. The ruling targets specific cookie identifiers, rejects Microsoft's attempt to shift liability to its European subsidiary, and imposes a strict deadline to cease processing for the affected child. This content is relevant for IT administrators, educators, and privacy professionals navigating school data handling, cookie consent, and enterprise software compliance in educational settings.
