Vienna: A privacy campaign group in Austria filed two complaints Tuesday against Microsoft, saying its education software that is widely used in schools violates data protection rights for children.
Youths across Europe are exposed to the violations, according to Vienna-based European Center for Digital Rights, also known as Noyb ("None of Your Business"), which said the alleged violations were increasing in step with the greater use of online learning.
The group wants Austrian regulators to investigate and fine the US computing giant, saying schools have no way of overseeing and protecting students' data when using the Microsoft 365 Education software.
"Microsoft provides such vague information that even a qualified lawyer can't fully understand how the company processes personal data in Microsoft 365 Education," Maartje de Graaf, a data protection lawyer at Nyob, said in a statement.
"It is almost impossible for children or their parents to uncover the extent of Microsoft's data collection."
