Recently, the introduction of new features in the educational app "Mriya" was announced, which does not compromise the security of teachers', students', and parents' data.
The Ministry of Digital Policy assured that no third party has access to users' personal information in a comment for "UP. Life".
Earlier, some social media users expressed concerns about data security, pointing out provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. 177 that regulates the app's operations. The document notes that business entities and information systems may be "connected" to it.
The Ministry explains that this refers to "Mriya" partners, with whom they collaborate within defined limits, as well as educational systems that may technically integrate into the app.
These partners:
- provide materials for the content library;
- are involved in a bonus program, through which students can earn tickets to movies, workshops, access to courses, and more.
However, partners do not have access to personal data or the administrative part of the system, emphasized the Ministry.
"Business entities do not gain access to the app or its data. The resolution discusses the possibility of their technical integration—for example, to display information about bonuses," they explained.
The app developers noted that business entities undergo verification before joining the educational app, and their integration occurs solely through official procedures, ensuring compliance with information security requirements.
"No third party has access to the personal data of teachers, students, or their parents (guardians)," the ministry clarified.
They also added that authorization in the app via BankID or "Dii" does not pose a risk of personal data leakage, as this information is not stored or transmitted during login - such capability is technically and legally absent.
"All components of the "Mriya" ecosystem are developed in accordance with current legislation and while adhering to the principles of protecting users' personal data," the ministry concluded.
It is worth noting that testing of the educational app will begin in 2024 in 40 schools. In September of that year, a beta version of "Mriya" will become available.
Through the app, students receive an ID card, the ability to complete assignments, view educational content, and plan their day.
Thanks to the platform, educators can create electronic lesson plans, fill in journals, assign grades, and mark student attendance.
Moreover, the platform offers functionality for parents to check their children's academic results, homework, and schedule.
