Privacy
GDPR Compliance. Smartsearch is compliant with EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Smartsearch extracts and process no data outside Canvas and only holds the information necessary to function as an LTI App, according to the open LTI standard.
Addendum Schrems II. On 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a ruling (the “Schrems II” ruling). In this ruling, the CJEU ruled that the EU-US Privacy Shield was no longer a valid mechanism to transfer personal data from the EEA to the United States. Smartsearch uses AWS from Amazon, a US based incorporated company, and is accordingly affected by the ruling, even though only AWS servers in Europe are used for EEA customers. After the ruling AWS has announced strengthened contractual commitments that go beyond what’s required by the Schrems II as an addendum. Further, the EDPB has released recommendations 01/2020 on measures that supplement transfer tools to ensure compliance with the EU level of protection of personal data, a 6-step roadmap. In practise regrading Smartsearch, all data at rest or i transit is encrypted, which according to EDPB in satisfactory for GDPR compliance.

»Smartsearch is perfect to fast and easily find material in your course. As a teacher it's valuable to be able to minimise the search effort in unpublished material. Many use the search function instead of navigating, as it requires very few clicks to find what you want.«
