[MyData & Open Data] Swedish Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board scrutinizes Google cloud services to host students data

Wed Mar 5 19:23:49 UTC 2014

Hello MyData-list,

Something similar to what Lancelot posted happens in Sweden. The
equivalent to the  Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board
(Datainspektionen) are scrutinizing the use of Google Apps for Education
in public schools. Because of conflict with privacy law.

This is not the first time that the Oversight Board says no to Google
Apps. it's been highlighted in other cases, reported by IT-media
globally before.
