Preamble

Owlala is a secured online platform, dedicated to schools and organisers of discovery classes and educational or leisure stays. It is open to all members of the educational community, schools and extra-curricular activities, as well as stay centres, associations, local communities or trip organisers.

Once logged in to the platform, teachers, educators, parents, managers and directors can access digital information, content, tools and services relevant to their activity.

Owlala allows specifically teachers/educators and trip organizers to access their working tools, from any computer, tablet or cell phone connected to internet, both inside and outside school, trip centre or organizing institution. Parents can find all the information needed about their child's discovery class or stay, as well as ways of communicating with the staff. Owlala therefore appears to allow communication between educators and families.

Anyone who visits the site, even occasionally and/or uses the services, is required to comply with the site’s Owlala terms of use.

Agreement of the general terms and conditions is confirmed by checking the box "I accept the general terms and conditions of use" when registering. The user acknowledges having read these terms and conditions and accepts them without restriction.

1 - Terminology

  • Website(s) : All the pages, databases and resources (images, sounds, documents, etc.) accessible on the ondonnedesnouvelles.fr/com domain names and all their sub-domains. By extension, the expression the Website or Site also designates the legal representative of the site.
  • Service(s) : Without specific mention, defines all the services, functions and tools offered through the websites.
  • User : Any person who visits one or more pages of the websites. Registered Users are users with a personal account.
  • Personal account : To access the various services, the user must create a personal account
  • Diary : safe space for a discovery class, a camp, a group...
  • Access : defines a user's authorisation to access a space. Accesses are classified and offer different rights depending on their type (parent, family, teacher, director, etc.).
  • Administrator : teacher, educator, instructor, camp director or organiser who created the space (discovery class, school trip, sports camp, stay centre etc.). Note that this administrator can invite other users to manage the space with them.

2 - Parents have to register to access the diary (creating a personal account)

By signing up on our website, you commit to provide valid information.

When registering, users are asked to enter their email address, surname and first name and to choose a personal password. Users are asked to check their details regularly in their personal account and to change them if necessary. Users must not share their password with any third party. Failing this, Owlala cannot be held responsible for unauthorised access to a personal account by a third party.

3 - Access to a space

The discovery class/stay diary is protected by an access code, so that only the families of the children in the class/stay can access it, by registering it in their personal space. This access code is given by Owlala to the administrator when the diary is created. They can then share it with the people to whom they wish to give access to their space. In the administrator's area, the teacher/educator can see which users have joined the space.

To access the Owlala website as a teacher/educator or stay organiser, you must be a teacher, educator, instructor, camp director, association supervisor, or director of a centre, organization, association, or the person in charge of a trip in a local community. You must also agree to provide information, such as your name, surname and email address, the name and address of the school/institution, your class or group, the name and dates of the stay. You also have to communicate the name and address of the host centre, and for organizations their name and address, as well as the name, e-mail address and telephone number of the person in charge.

To access the website as a family/parent, you need an access code given by a teacher, educator or organization, known as the "administrator" of a diary.

Owlala reserves the right to delete any personal account of a user who has failed to comply with the general terms and conditions of use, particularly if they share false, misleading or fraudulent information or if the personal space has been inactive for at least 1 year. The deletion of a personal account can not constitute a fault on the part of Owlala nor cause damage to the excluded user. The excluded user can not be entitled to any compensation as a result.

Owlala is concerned about the privacy of its users and therefore guarantees the confidentiality of the data transmitted to its system. The personal information collected is processed exclusively to respond to your requests and to execute the services for which you provide this data.

Under Article 30 of the RGPD, the Owlala Data Protection Delegate has created a regularly updated processing register. This registry is part of the documentation of our RGPD compliance. Indeed, it identifies and analyzes the processing of personal data that we collect in the context of the production of photo books.

In accordance with the « Computer and Freedoms » law, the treatment of personal information by Owlala was the subject of a declaration to the National Commission for Information Technology and Freedoms (CNIL) under the number 1453244. This data can be changed by the user as much as he wishes.

Data for logbooks created by teachers/supervisors is protected by access codes that only the administrator of that log has. The teacher/supervisor/organization code allows him to complete this journal and he can disseminate the parent/pupil codes to the families to whom he wants to give access to his newspaper.

Owlala commits to keep all data required to consult the diary of the discovery class or stay for 12 months after the end of the stay. After this period, access to the diary will be automatically disabled and files will be destroyed. Only files linked to ordered photo books are kept for a further 6 months, to allow possible reprints.

7 - Post content

Owlala is managed collaboratively by a team of professionals, who convince disbelieve the benefits of digital in learning, bring all their skills to the realization of this tool. This team exchanges and enriches each day with the experience of users and the knowledge of the educational teams.

Our website and mobile applications are completely free. The mobile application is exclusively reserved for teachers, educators and holiday organizers, it is not intended for families.

In the journal, the administrator has a publication space where they can post text and photos, as well as attach documents and external links. At the end of the stay, Owlala offers supervisors and families the option to keep all or part of the photos published during the discovery class or stay.

This also makes it possible to cover the costs of the site and to ensure its development.

This purchase, available in the form of photos and photo books, is made up from all or part of the photos posted on the diary by the administrator. The layout is up to the administrator. Purchase by families is optional.

The teacher indicates that there is an opportunity for families to acquire this memory if they wish. Data is then informed by users during a production request to enable our team to process it and ensure delivery.

In addition to financing the platform's development, photo books are an excellent way for children to remember what they've learned and the highlights of their discovery class or stay. They can put into words the different experiences they've had. It is also a great way for families to share activities organized by the school, a school association, an extracurricular association, a sports club, a cultural or a vacation organization. It is also a highly representative and rewarding tool for the work accomplished by the staff during the stay.
