Microsoft, an American multinational corporation and technology giant, has responded to a legal complaint suggesting that hundreds of thousands of kids may be tracked by their education software, which is widely used in schools across Europe.
A nonprofit privacy rights organization called NOYB filed two complaints against Microsoft about its cloud-based educational software package, Microsoft 365 Education, with the Austrian data protection authority (DPA), which confirmed this information on Tuesday.
According to the first complaint, data processing is not carried out in a transparent manner. NOYB pointed out that Microsoft tries to put the burden of GDPR compliance on schools through its contracts.
