What is the AVG?

The AVG stands for Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming, which is the Dutch name for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The AVG is a privacy law that came into effect on May 25, 2018, and is intended to protect the privacy of individuals within the European Union (EU) and regulate how organizations process data. The AVG replaces the Wet bescherming persoonsgegevens (Wbp). It includes rules and regulations regarding how organizations collect, store, process, and protect personal data. This regulation also affects Esprit schools and how we handle personal data

How is your privacy protected on our website?

Our website's primary purpose is to inform you. Privacy protection is important to us. Therefore, the website only uses functional cookies to ensure its proper functioning. It does not use tracking or third-party tracking cookies, nor does it display advertisements. Third-party functionality is minimized wherever possible, and when necessary, privacy-friendly solutions are preferred. Below are some of our privacy-friendly choices:

We use OpenStreetMap (OSM) instead of Google Maps to display maps or addresses. 

Videos are directly hosted on our website. A small portion of the videos still use YouTube. These videos are displayed in privacy-enhanced mode by default, ensuring privacy protection.

Are students allowed to make video recordings without asking permission?

Students undergoing training to work in education (as teachers, instructors, or teaching assistants) undertake several internships at primary (PO), secondary (VO), or vocational (MBO) schools as part of their training (as interns, teacher trainees, instructor trainees, or career changers). During these internship periods, students sometimes make video recordings while teaching in class. These recordings are used as self-reflection tools for the student and their mentors, or as assessment tools for the educational institution (MBO, university, or college). When making these recordings, not only the student themselves but also students from our schools may appear. Thus, both the personal data of the students and our students are processed in these recordings, and GDPR regulations apply to this processing.

For these purposes, we distinguish three objectives:

  1. Guidance through observation, interaction, and self-reflection to learn from gained experiences.
  2. Assessment of the student (evidence and documentation of professional qualifications, skills, and experience for assessment purposes).
  3. Retention of recordings for potential appeal against the assessment.

For the first two objectives, the legal basis for making these video recordings for students is the performance of the public task of the educational institution and the school. This task is to educate students and, in this context, provide practical experience and assess the knowledge, understanding, and skills of the student. The third objective follows from the legal obligation of the educational institution to provide the college or appeals committee with all necessary data to handle appeals against a student's assessment. Therefore, for these purposes, it is not necessary to obtain consent. However, consent is required for recordings that do not fall under these purposes.

How can I protect my own privacy?

The following tips reduce the risk of unwanted privacy breaches:

  • Realize that you are an attractive target for hackers. Never say, "That won't happen to me."
  • Use unique secure passwords, do not share them with anyone, and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
  • Exercise caution when clicking on attachments or links in emails or on websites.
  • Avoid connecting to public (password-free) networks.
  • Only use secure websites and conduct sensitive activities such as banking or shopping on your own device.
  • Ensure your computer and applications are updated with the latest updates.
  • Think carefully about what you share on social media and regularly check the privacy settings of your browser and social media accounts.
  • Lock your computer when you are not using it.
  • Print only what is absolutely necessary.
  • Decline cookies and regularly delete stored cookies.
  • Be suspicious if something is free or sounds too good to be true.
  • Suspicious situation? Email privacy@espritscholen.nl

Is the use of Google Workspace safe?

Esprit Schools uses Google Workspace for Education. In 2021, on behalf of Dutch educational institutions, SIVON and SURF reached an agreement with Google to mitigate the high privacy risks in Google Workspace for Education. The amended terms, Education Agreement Workspace for Education, apply only to the so-called core services (such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Drive, and Classroom). Additional services (such as YouTube, Maps, Blogger, Translate, etc.) are outside the scope of the agreement. In addition to accepting the agreement, technical measures have also been implemented to ensure privacy protection and security, in line with the advice from SIVON and SURF

How can Youtube and Google Maps be used?

For additional Google applications, we cannot guarantee the privacy protection of our staff and students. Therefore, it is not possible to sign in to these applications using an Esprit Schools account. Regardless of the browser or system, attempting to sign in to YouTube with an Esprit Schools account will result in YouTube being blocked. More information can be found via SIVON and Kennisnet.

It is possible to access YouTube and Google Maps using incognito mode or a different browser. Please note: do not sign in with an Esprit Schools account when doing so. To enhance your privacy protection, it is preferable to use alternatives such as DuckDuckGo, OpenStreetMaps, or WikiWijs.

Why do we use Chromebooks?

At our school, we use Chromebooks for several reasons:

Chromebooks run on Chrome OS, an operating system known for its simplicity and user-friendliness. Students and teachers can start working quickly without needing extensive technical knowledge.

Chromebooks boot up quickly and generally have a long battery life, meaning they can last the entire school day without needing to be constantly recharged.

Chrome OS is designed with built-in security features, such as automatic updates and sandboxing, which help keep the devices safe from malware and viruses. This reduces the need for our school to implement extensive IT security measures.

Chromebooks are well-integrated with Google Workspace for Education, providing access to tools like Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Classroom. This facilitates collaboration and makes it easy to save and share work in the cloud.

There are many educational apps and platforms specifically designed to work on Chromebooks. These apps support interactive lessons and assist students in their studies.

These reasons make Chromebooks a valuable tool in our school's educational environment.

What can I do if the smartboard frequently turns off?

If you notice that the interactive whiteboard frequently turns off, it is often due to the sleep settings of the connected laptop. Here are the steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

Check your laptop's sleep settings:

  1. Go to your laptop's Settings.
  2. In the settings search bar, search for "power management" or "energy settings."
  3. Increase the duration before the laptop goes into sleep mode or temporarily disable sleep mode while using the interactive whiteboard.

By adjusting your laptop's sleep settings, you can often prevent the interactive whiteboard from turning off unexpectedly. If this does not work, the helpdesk is available to support you and ensure that your problem is resolved as quickly as possible.
