Data Security in the 'Mriya' App
The recent announcements regarding the introduction of new features in the 'Mriya' educational application confirm that the data security of teachers, students, and their parents remains intact.
The Ministry of Digital Affairs assured that no third parties have access to users' personal information, according to a comment made for 'UP. Life'.
Previously, users on social media expressed concerns about data security, referencing Cabinet Resolution No. 177, which regulates the application's operations. This document states that 'entities' can be 'connected' to the system.
The Ministry clarified that this refers to 'Mriya' partners who collaborate within defined limits and educational platforms that may technically integrate with the app.
These partners:
- provide materials for the content library;
- are involved in a bonus program that rewards students with tickets to movies, workshops, courses, etc.
However, access to personal data is not granted, emphasized the Ministry.
'Entities do not gain access to the application or its data. The resolution merely allows for technical integration, for example, to display bonus information,' they explained.
The app's creators noted that entities undergo verification before joining the educational application, and their integration occurs strictly through official procedures, complying with information security requirements.
'No third party has access to the personal data of teachers, students, or their parents (guardians),' the department clarified.
They also added that authorization in the app through BankID of the National Bank or 'Diia' does not pose a risk of data leakage, as this information is not stored or transmitted during login – such possibilities are technically and legally excluded.
'All components of the 'Mriya' ecosystem are created in accordance with current legislation and with adherence to the principles of protecting users' personal data,' they concluded.
It should be noted that testing of the educational app in the first 40 schools will begin in 2024. In September of that year, the beta version of 'Mriya' will be available.
In the app, students receive ID cards, the ability to complete educational tasks, access educational content, and plan their day.
Thanks to the app, teachers can create electronic study plans, fill out journals, grade students, and track attendance.
Additionally, the platform offers functionality for parents, who can check their children's academic results, homework, and schedules.
