Abstract

By monitoring and aggregating data about students, their behavior in different information systems and platforms, the university collects a lot of information about students. However, the use of sensitive and personal data about students must lead to the increase of measures to ensure the privacy of students, but also of all other stakeholders in the educational process. Two years have passed since the entry into force of the new privacy rules defined by the General Data Protection Regulation. This article presents an analysis of the compliance of higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia with the principles of data protection.
