The recently announced features in the 'Mriya' educational app pose no threat to the security of teachers, students, and their parents' data.

The Ministry of Digital Policy assured that no third party has access to users' personal information in a comment to 'UP. Life'.

Concerns about data security were previously raised by social media users who noted the provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. 177 regulating the app's operation. The document states that 'business entities' and information systems may be 'connected' to it.

The Ministry clarified that this refers to 'Mriya' partners collaborating within defined limits, as well as educational systems that can be technically integrated into the app.

These partners include:

• those providing materials for the content library;
• participants in a bonus program that rewards students with tickets to movies, workshops, and courses.

However, partners do not have access to personal data, emphasized the Ministry.

'Business entities do not gain access to the app or its data. The resolution refers to the possibility of their technical integration, for example, to display bonus information,' they explained.

App developers noted that business entities undergo verification before joining the educational app, and their integration occurs solely through official procedures that comply with information security requirements.

'No third party has access to the personal data of teachers, students, or their parents (guardians),' the ministry clarified.

They also added that authorization in the app via BankID or 'Diia' does not pose a risk of data leakage, as this information is not stored or transmitted during login.

'All components of the 'Mriya' ecosystem are created in accordance with current legislation and with respect to users' personal data protection principles,' the ministry concluded.

It is worth mentioning that testing of the educational app in the first 40 schools will begin in 2024, with the beta version of 'Mriya' available in September.

In the app, students receive an ID card, can complete educational tasks, view educational content, and plan their day.

Thanks to the app, educators can create electronic lesson plans, fill out journals, grade students, and track attendance.

Additionally, the platform offers functionality for parents, allowing them to check their children's academic results, homework, and schedule.
