Student Privacy Rights and Personal Data Protection
Higher education institutions collect vast amounts of personal information about students: academic performance (grades), financial status, health conditions, and disciplinary records. This data is protected by the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection. Universities are prohibited from sharing this information with third parties (including parents if the student is an adult) without the student's consent. Often, lecturers publicly announce grades, or the Dean's office releases personal information to unauthorized persons. Privacy violations cause moral damage and can become the subject of administrative disputes.
This service helps students protect their private lives. Lawyers on Legal.ge ensure the cessation of illegal data processing and compensation for damages.
