The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the new privacy law for the European Union (EU), went into effect on May 25, 2018. One year later, there is mounting evidence that the law has not produced its intended outcomes; moreover, the unintended consequences are severe and widespread, having an impact on businesses, digital innovation, the labour market and consumers.

Althouh today there is much more concern towards the issue of online data protection, most users continue to have a naive attitude. As a matter of fact, data governance represents a daunting challenge. What would be needed is a system that defines and grants users "digital agency"-the ability to own the rights to their personal data, manage access to this data and, potentially be compensated fairly for such access.

Most personal student information stays local. Districts, states, and the federal government all collect data about students for important purposes like informing instruction and providing information to the public. But the type of data collected, and who can access them, is different at each point. From schools to the US Department of Education, see how student data are—and are not—accessed and used.

There are many types of data that support student learning—and they’re so much more than test scores. But individual data points don’t give the full picture needed to support the incredibly important education goals of parents, students, educators, and policymakers. See the types of data that can come together—under requirements like privacy and security—to form a full picture of student learning. When used effectively, data empowers everyone.

He analyzes the role that consent plays in data protection and privacy today, grappling with how we manage consent in a world in which data is constantly being inferred about us. In a chaotic world, he emphasizes that it is important that we ask for consent in a meaningful and effective manner.

Colleges and universities have implemented a wide range of technologies on their campuses to collect data, often with the intent to improve the education experience. But the surge of data collection in higher education has prompted many to scrutinize the privacy implications of gathering personal data on students and the lack of transparency around how it’s being used.

Supposing the data collected by educational system could turn to be used in a positive way, how it will be possible? Analytics might seem like a tool more suited for large corporations than higher education, but what if data analytics had the power to prevent students from dropping out of college?

With the entry into force of the GDPR introducing the accountability principle, Schools and Universities become data controllers and therefore are responsible for demonstrating compliance with all the requirements of the GDPR including the principles of lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality, transfers, data subjects rights. As data controllers, Universities need to have organised records of what personal data exists, as well as documentation explaining why it has been held, how it is collected, who has access to it and when it will be removed or anonymised.
