Right and Responsbilities

Responsibility for Electronic Data

Pupils are solely responsible for any apps or extensions on their Chromebooks that are not installed by a member of the King’s College technology staff. Pupils are responsible for backing up their data to protect it from loss. Users of school technology have no rights, ownership, or expectations of privacy to any data that is, or was, stored on the Chromebook, school network, or any school issued applications and are given no guarantees that data will be retained or destroyed.

Operating System and Security

Pupils may not use or install any operating system on their Chromebook other than the current version of ChromeOS that is supported and managed by the school.

Updates

The Chromebook operating system, ChromeOS, updates itself automatically. Pupils do not need to manually update their Chromebooks.

Virus Protection

Chromebooks use the principle of “defence in depth” to provide multiple layers of protection against viruses and malware, including data encryption and verified boot. There is no need for additional virus protection.

Content Filter

The school utilises an Internet content filter. All Chromebooks will have all Internet activity protected and monitored by the school while on premises. If an educationally valuable site is blocked, students should contact their teachers to request the site be unblocked. School will study to provide a filtering service at home that will be included in the annual Technology Fee.
