Appendix 1: Privacy policy for education for minors
This Privacy Statement contains the main information about the use by Boom of personal data relating to students in the use of our digital educational tools for primary and secondary schools. This Privacy Policy serves as a supplement to Boom’s General Privacy Policy.
Schools and digital educational tools
The use of digital educational tools provides a number of key benefits to students and teachers alike. This makes it possible to provide more personalized services to students, a need shared across the board by schools, sectoral councils and the political community in the Netherlands.
Schools that use Boom’s digital educational tools may instruct us to process students’ personal data in order to enable students to use these educational tools.
Responsibility of the educational institution for personal data processing for the purpose of tests
Boom has endorsed the “Agreement for Digital Educational Tools and Privacy – Educational Tools and Tests”. In this agreement, providers and educational sector councils set out that an educational institution is legally “responsible” for processing personal data. This means educational institutions have, and retain, the control over data processing within educational tools. Boom is a processor which carries out instructions provided by educational institutions. As part of this process, Boom will always ensure that personal data is appropriately protected.
Boom is a member of GEU, an industry association for providers of educational tools, tests and educational services, and complies with GEU’s Privacy Regulations www.geu.nuv.nl/privacy-reglement.
Data Processing Agreement
The Boom Data Processing Agreement we sign with educational institutions sets out what instructions are provided for the collection and processing of personal data in the use of digital educational tools for primary and secondary schools. For this purpose, Boom uses the “Model Data Processing Agreement”, which forms part of the “Agreement for Digital Educational Tools and Privacy – Educational Tools and Tests.” The Data Processing Agreement forms part of our Licensing Terms and Conditions which are applicable to the use of digital educational tools.

Parties involved can exercise their statutory rights through the educational institution. Parties concerned intending to exercise these rights are required to contact the educational institution in question.
Other privacy statements
Boom processes personal data on behalf of other product groups, relationship management and for marketing purposes. No personal data is processed for this purpose originating from digital learning tools for primary and secondary schools.
