All data storage for licence users are compliant with The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulation in EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). The Privacy Policy for license users are regulated in a separate and signed agreement between Learnlab and the customer. All license schools and municipalities are required to sign a DBA written according to the laws in each county. Contact sales for more information. The highlights of this agreement is shortly described in the following. For license users are regulated in a separate and signed agreement between Learnlab and the customer. For license users Learnlab provide a 100% GDPR compliant solution with data storage in EU and strong data protection. All personal information is only available on two-factor authentication Norwegian users and in addition to the best technical data protection the market can offer. We also encrypt all personal information on our servers.
Learnlab uses encryption of data at rest which means that all the data that is stored must be encrypted. Technically, a database instance running with RDS encryption, data stored at rest in the underlying storage is encrypted, as are its automated backups, read replicas, and snapshots. RDS encryption uses the industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt data on the server that hosts an RDS instance.
Encryption of data in transit means that all the communication among the Learnlab resources are encrypted using SSL/TLS. RDS creates an SSL certificate and installs the certificate on the DB instance when the instance is provisioned. Therefore, all the Learnlab RDS instances, including the one that stores personal data, is configured to use SLL/TLS communication.
The following technical and organizational measurements have been taken by Learnlab to ensure personal data privacy and security:

LearnLab AS (“LearnLab”) is concerned about privacy issues and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information. This Privacy Policy describes our practices about information that we collect through websites operated by us from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy (the “Websites”), through the software applications made available by us for use on or through computers and mobile devices (the “Apps”), and through HTML-formatted email messages that we send that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, including the Websites and Apps, the “Services”). By providing Personal Information to us, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR OUR POLICY REGARDING OUR COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER AGE 13.
What is LearnLab?
LearnLab is a Norwegian company and software application (learnlab.net) with employees in Oslo and Copenhagen that develop content and technology for schools in deep collaboration with students, teachers, leaders, and researchers. The main aim is to reinforce different kinds of learning through (1) developing technology and content that facilitate deep learning, life mastery, and well-being, and (2) establish physical and virtual professional learning communities (PLCs) that strengthens students, the teaching profession, and student-centered leadership.
If building a strong foundation for living a rich and meaningful life in the societies of the future is an important goal for the schools of today, we believe this is accomplished best by letting students today participate in digital and analogue learning communities and cross-curricular projects characterized by equity, diversity, growth mindset, collaboration, technology, curiosity, openness, physical activity, questions, communication, democracy, academic knowledge, basic skills, intrinsic motivation, problem-solving, creative and critical thinking.
Ownership
Users (with accounts) retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in their Content, and LearnLab and/or third parties retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in all Content in LearnLab.
You retain ownership of any intellectual property you post to LearnLab.
Content License to LearnLab
When you transfer Content to LearnLab through the Services, you give LearnLab a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable right and license to use, host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, display (publicly or otherwise), perform (publicly or otherwise), distribute, transmit, modify, adapt (including, without limitation, in order to conform it to the requirements of any networks, devices, services, or media through which the Services are available), such Subscriber Content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating the Services in accordance with their functionality, improving the Services, and allowing LearnLab to develop new Services.
When you upload your creations to LearnLab, you grant us a license to make that content available in the ways you’d expect from using our services (for example, via your blog, RSS, the LearnLab Dashboard, etc.). We never want to do anything with your content that surprises you.
Something else worth noting: We’re thrilled to offer our support as a platform for our creators, and we’d never claim to be entitled to royalties or reimbursement for the success of what you’ve created. It’s your work, and we’re proud to be a part (however small) of what you accomplish.
You also agree that this license includes the right for LearnLab to make all publicly-posted Content available to third parties selected by LearnLab, so that those third parties can distribute and/or analyze such Content on other media and services.
An example of what it means to “make all publicly-posted Content available” to a LearnLab partner for distribution or analysis would be if we licensed a feed of already-publicly-available Content to a partner, like how Twitter makes feeds available through its Streaming API.
Note also that this license to your Content continues even if you stop using the Services, primarily because of the social nature of Content shared through the Services – when you post something publicly, others may choose to comment on it, making your Content part of a social conversation that cannot later be erased without retroactively censoring the speech of others.
One thing you should consider before posting: When you make something publicly available on the Internet, it becomes practically impossible to take down all copies of it.
You also agree that you will respect the intellectual property rights of others, and represent that you have all of the necessary rights to grant us this license for all Content you submit to the Services.
Compliance with Community Guidelines
You agree that you won’t post Subscriber Content that violates, or otherwise use your Account in ways that violate LearnLab’s Community Guidelines.
Termination and Deletion
On termination of your Account or upon your deletion of pieces of Content from the Services, LearnLab shall make reasonable efforts to make such Content inaccessible and cease use of it; however, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) caching of, copies of, or references to the Subscriber Content may not be removed; and (b) such removed Subscriber Content may persist in backups (not available to others) for a reasonable period of time.

If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then we may use it for the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information as detailed in this Policy.
How We May Collect Other Information
