The rapid integration of technology in education has created unprecedented opportunities for learning, but it has also introduced significant legal complexities, particularly concerning data privacy. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we specialize in the intersection of educational technology (EdTech), innovation, and data protection law. Our services are designed for both EdTech companies and educational institutions to help them navigate this complex legal landscape with confidence. We provide expert counsel grounded in Georgia's Law on Personal Data Protection, ensuring that digital tools are not only innovative but also fully compliant and secure for all users.
Ensuring the legal compliance of EdTech platforms and digital tools is paramount for their successful implementation and market acceptance. We provide comprehensive legal audits for technology providers to ensure their digital ecosystems adhere to Georgian law from the ground up. This includes verifying that all data processing activities have a legitimate purpose, are proportionate, and respect user rights as mandated. Our firm assists in navigating the specific requirements for features like video and audio monitoring, ensuring they are used lawfully. This proactive legal approach mitigates the risk of costly penalties and builds a foundation of trust with students, parents, and partner institutions.
The lawful handling and protection of personal data is a critical and non-negotiable obligation for any educational institution using digital tools. We provide expert legal advice on all aspects of data management, helping schools and universities to establish secure protocols for collecting, processing, and storing student and faculty data. Our services are fully aligned with Georgia's new data protection law, which grants individuals enhanced rights to know what personal data is being processed and to request its correction or deletion. We guide institutions in implementing robust data security measures and help them prepare for and respond to data breach incidents in compliance with their legal duties.
To operate successfully and build user trust, every EdTech platform requires clear and legally sound documentation. Our firm specializes in drafting and reviewing essential legal agreements tailored to the specific needs of the education sector. This includes creating comprehensive Terms of Service that define user responsibilities, robust Privacy Policies that transparently explain data handling practices, and clear User Agreements. These documents are meticulously crafted to be fully compliant with Georgia's data protection framework, providing a secure and transparent experience for all users.
