Class2Class.org – Connecting Classrooms for a Better World

5. Safety & Compliance

Understand our COIL methodology and pedagogical approach to global learning

What you’ll learn

Global collaboration can only succeed when students, teachers, and schools feel safe and protected. For this reason, safety and compliance are not optional features on Class2Class.org — they are built into the platform from the very beginning.

In this article, you will understand:

  • How student data is protected,
  • How privacy and consent are managed,
  • How online interactions are kept safe,
  • And what role teachers play in creating a secure learning environment.

The following video explains how safety is designed into the platform:

Security by design

Security and privacy are embedded into the platform’s architecture and processes from the start.

Class2Class.org is built on certified infrastructure providers that meet international standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Data protection follows GDPR principles, ensuring that only the minimum data required for learning is collected and processed.

Privacy, transparency, and continuous review are core elements of this approach, allowing the platform to evolve alongside new regulations and best practices.

Child protection and student safety

Every feature on the platform is designed to keep students safe and their privacy protected.

Students cannot register independently. Participation is always initiated and supervised by a teacher, and age requirements and parental consent are applied in line with international regulations such as COPPA and GDPR.

Teachers maintain full visibility and control over project spaces, student participation, and shared content, ensuring that all interactions take place in a trusted educational context.

Safe online interaction and reporting

Class2Class.org provides clear guidelines and tools to support respectful and secure online communication.

Teachers and students can report inappropriate behavior, unsafe content, or concerns directly from the platform. All reports are reviewed promptly and addressed according to established ethical guidelines and coexistence policies.

Clear codes of conduct and zero-tolerance rules for harassment or unsafe behavior apply to all users, helping maintain a respectful global learning environment.

For practical, classroom-ready guidance on digital behavior, account security, and communication best practices, educators are encouraged to consult the Online Safety Guide, available as a reference resource.
