Data Processing Agreement (DPA) — Standard Terms
This page describes Studyula’s standard data-processing approach for agreements with educational institutions.
Last updated: 4 September 2026
The institution’s instructions and legal responsibilities for student/staff data and Studyula’s service-provider/processor role are defined by contract and applicable law. A signed DPA is completed with institution details and country-specific schedules where needed.
1. Roles and scope
Where the institution determines the purposes and means of processing, it may act as controller and Studyula as processor acting on documented instructions. Processing where Studyula acts independently as controller remains subject to the Privacy Policy.
2. Processing and instructions
Studyula processes account, class, course, assignment, assessment, attendance, academic-analysis, guidance/support and school-operation data only to provide the service, protect security and follow lawful authorized instructions. Unlawful instructions are not followed.
3. Confidentiality and security
Authorized personnel are subject to confidentiality. Studyula applies role-based access, tenant isolation, secure authentication/sessions, encrypted communications, security and audit logs, backups, monitoring and appropriate access controls.
4. Subprocessors and transfers
Subprocessors may be used for necessary service components. Current categories are listed on the Subprocessors page. Institution-specific DPAs may identify active providers, regions and contractual transfer mechanisms where required.
5. Data-subject requests and incidents
Studyula provides reasonable technical assistance for data-subject requests falling under the institution’s responsibility. Where a verified security incident affects institution data, Studyula coordinates with the institution under applicable contract and law.
6. Return/deletion at end of service
When the service ends, institution data may be returned, deleted or anonymized according to the contract, subject to legal retention, security and backup requirements. Ending institution membership does not necessarily delete an independent personal learner account.
7. Executed version
This public page summarizes Studyula’s standard DPA principles. A legally binding institution DPA should separately include the parties’ formal details, data categories, purposes, retention, subprocessors, transfer terms and signatures.
