  Privacy and safety

• Step 11

  On a public teacher computer you will not be automatically logged out of applications once you’ve stopped using them. It is therefor important to manually log out of all applications you have used (Teams for example).

  This way you can prevent the application from logging in (or staying logged in) with your credentials once the next person uses the same computer.

  To prevent personal and temporary data from being stored on these type of computers, these files will be erased by a script every night.

   

• 

  Step 12

  To log out of Teams for example, you:

  • Click on your profile picture in the top right
  • Click ‘Sign out’

×


• Step 13

  When sharing data with students or other people you have to take into account the protections of personal information (GDPR). This means you cannot share text or images that show personal information of other people.
