SCHEDULE TO GENERAL CONDITIONS
DATA PROTECTION WITH SCHOOLS
Please note that this Schedule only applies to school subscriptions and not to family subscriptions. This is because when contracting with schools, schools are “controllers” of data and we are considered to be “processors” of that data. Whenever a controller uses a processor, standard contract terms need to be put in place to identify the responsibilities and liabilities of each party regarding the processing of data. For further details on data protection and family subscriptions, please visit our Privacy Notice.
