The recently announced features in the "Mriya" educational app do not compromise the data security of teachers, students, and their parents.
The Ministry of Digital Policy assured that no third party has access to users' personal information in a comment to "UP. Life".
Concerns about data security were previously raised by social media users, who pointed to the provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. 177 regulating the app's operation. The document states that commercial entities, information, and information-communication systems may be "connected" to it.
The Ministry clarified that this refers to the partners of "Mriya" with whom they collaborate within defined limits, as well as educational systems that can technically integrate into the app.
This includes partners who:
- provide materials for the content library;
- are involved in a bonus program where students receive tickets to movies, workshops, access to courses, etc., as incentives for learning.
However, these partners do not have access to personal data or the administrative part of the system, the Ministry emphasized.
"Commercial entities do not gain access to the app or its data. The resolution mentions the possibility of their technical integration – for instance, to display information about bonuses," the Ministry explained.
The app's creators noted that commercial entities go through a verification process before joining the educational app, and their integration occurs solely through official procedures, complying with information security requirements.
"No third party has access to the personal data of teachers, students, or their parents (guardians)," the Ministry reassured.
It was also added that authorization in the app via BankID of the National Bank or "Diya" does not pose a risk of personal data leakage, as this information is not stored or transmitted – technically and legally, this is not possible.
"All components of the 'Mriya' ecosystem are created in accordance with current legislation and adhere to the principles of protecting users' personal data," the Ministry concluded.
It should be reminded that testing of the educational app began in the first 40 schools in 2024. In September of that year, the beta version of "Mriya" became available.
In the app, students receive an ID card, the ability to complete learning tasks, access educational content, and plan their day.
Thanks to the app, educators can create electronic lesson plans, fill in journals, grade students, and mark their attendance.
Additionally, the platform offers functionality for parents to check their children's learning outcomes, homework, and schedules.
