2. About the Service

The Service is a cloud-based learning platform for educational use that enables teaching, communication, collaboration, and administrative workflows in educational environments.

We may update, modify, or discontinue parts of the Service to improve functionality, performance, or security. Such changes may be made without prior notice where necessary.

3. Data Protection

The parties acknowledge that the processing of personal data in connection with the Service is subject to applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR.

Where the Service is used by a School, the School acts as the Data Controller, determining the purposes and means of processing personal data. In such cases, Acadu AS acts as a Data Processor, processing personal data only on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of the Data Controller, as set out in a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

Where the Service is used by Account Holders and Invited Users, Acadu AS acts as the Data Controller and processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

4. Use in Relation to Children

Where the Service is used in relation to children, the School or the Account Holder providing access to the child is solely responsible for compliance with applicable data protection laws. This includes ensuring that a valid legal basis for processing is established and that required information is provided to the child and/or their parent or legal guardian.

Acadu AS does not assume responsibility for ensuring the legal basis for processing personal data relating to children.
Further information about how personal data is processed, including purposes, legal bases, and User rights, is available in the Privacy Policy.

Where the Service is used by a School, the School is responsible for managing user accounts, access control, and ensuring that users comply with applicable laws, policies, and these Terms.

Where the Service is used by an Account Holder. The Service may allow Users, including students, children, and parents or legal guardians, to be invited and granted access to the Service.

This includes making User Content accessible to Account Holders (teachers), and other Users (such as group members or parents) where such access is part of the functionality of the Service.

The User is responsible for acceptable use ensuring that all User Content is lawful, accurate, and does not infringe the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights and rights related to privacy and data protection.

The User must treat others respectfully, follow school policies and only use the platform for educational purposes.

Users may choose to share User Content within the Service where such functionality is available. By sharing content, Users acknowledge and accept that such content may be accessed, used, and modified by other Users and by Acadu as part of the functionality of the Service.
