Schools will progressively roll out IT applications that will be vital for students’ teaching and learning. These include: 

For the IT Applications (Student iCON, Microsoft 365 Pro Plus), the school will use your child’s/ward’s personal data such as his/her full name, birth certificate number and class to set up user accounts. This data will also be used for the purposes of authenticating and verifying user identity, troubleshooting and facilitating system improvements 

In addition, the commercial providers of these platforms (e.g., Google, Microsoft) will collect and deal with user data generated by your child’s/ward’s use of these applications. The collection, use and disclosure of such data are governed by the commercial provider’s terms of use, which can be found here:

• Microsoft 365 Pro Plus: https://portal.office.com/commerce/mosa.aspx 

All user data which is collected by MOE will be stored in secure servers managed by the respective vendors of our systems. The Government has put in place strong personal data protection laws and policies to safeguard sensitive data collected by public agencies such as MOE.
