Microsoft violates children’s privacy – but blames your local school


noyb has filed two complaints against Microsoft for unlawful data processing in 365 Education

Maartje de Graaf, data protection lawyer at noyb: “This take-it-or-leave-it approach by software vendors such as Microsoft is shifting all GDPR responsibilities to schools. In Austria, where noyb has filed its two complaints, local principals are supposedly tasked with determining the “purposes and means” under Article 4(7) GDPR and to ensure compliance against international software providers such as Microsoft. As the terms and conditions and the privacy documentation of Microsoft 365 Education are uniform for the EU/EEA, all children living in these countries are exposed to the same violations of their GDPR rights.
