Minor students and platforms

For a child under 14, consent is given by the person with parental authority; from age 14, the student may consent on their own in some cases. Public-sector rules may apply differently: validate.

Student records

  • Retention according to an official schedule, then destruction or archiving.
  • Access by parents, the student and staff on a need-to-know basis.
  • Transfers between schools: only what is necessary.

Photos and videos

Clear and specific authorization (purpose, duration, dissemination) for class photos, the website, social media.

Third-party platforms (e.g. virtual classrooms, apps)

Before using a platform with student data: PIA, check the server location and the contract (limited use, deletion), and validation by the person in charge.

Example. A teacher wants to use an online portfolio app: they first request validation (PIA and contract), because names and work of minor students are personal information.
