School communication that meets GDPR — by design

Why WhatsApp and email put schools at risk
WhatsApp was never built for schools
Student data sits on parents' and teachers' personal phones, outside any data-processing agreement, with no way to enforce retention or deletion.
US-hosted apps rely on framework agreements
Many school apps host data in the United States and transfer it under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework — not EU data residency.
Consent and data-subject rights are hard to manage
On consumer messaging tools there is no structured way to record parental consent or to respond to access and deletion requests.
Data scattered across personal accounts
When communication lives in personal inboxes and chat groups, the school has no central record and no control.

Frequently asked questions
Is WhatsApp GDPR compliant for schools?
WhatsApp can be used lawfully in narrow cases, but for routine school communication it is hard to keep compliant: data sits on personal devices, there is no school-level data-processing agreement, and retention and deletion cannot be enforced. A purpose-built platform is far easier to keep compliant.
Where is BeeNet data hosted?
BeeNet hosts all data on Microsoft Azure regions inside the European Union, with private endpoints and no transfer to the United States.
Do you provide a Data Processing Agreement?
Yes. Every school gets a DPA setting out processing roles, retention periods and the list of sub-processors. Request it during your demo.
How long does setup take?
Most schools are running within a week. Book a demo and our team will walk through onboarding.
