DPIA Questions

 

What is the purpose of the software?

  • Trackit Lights is a behaviour management system which is used in the classroom to motivate good behaviour and reduce admin workload in recording performance data. Statistics are gathered across the school to provide management with the ability to quickly review the performance across the school. Details can be found at www.trackitlights.com

 

How does the system work?

  • Trackit Lights is a ‘cloud service’. The service interfaces to the school’s admin system via a third-party service called Wonde which is used by thousands of schools and provides a secure and controlled access to specific data which the school must consent to.
  • Staff can log positive and misbehaviour via a desktop app, an iOS / Android app, and via a web portal. The choice of behaviours is set by the SLT as part of the school’s behaviour policy.
  • The logged behaviours are collected and made available as a series of charts. Staff can use the charts to monitor and evidence behaviour.
  • An optional parent’s app can be used to share a pupil’s behaviour records with their parent’s, as well as features for homework, detentions, and messages.
  • Other features include class points, house points, certificates, detentions, incident forms, and integrations with safeguarding systems to send incident forms into relevant systems.

 

What data is required?

  • The data required is non-sensitive in data protection terms. In essence, Trackit Lights needs the pupils’ names, which classes the pupils are in, plus the teachers’ names, their work email addresses and which classes they teach. There are a few other items which are specified when consenting to the Wonde integration.
  • Parent app: Parents download the app from the app store and input their name and email address when logging in for the first time. They are required to agree to the Trackit Lights terms and conditions which is an agreement between Trackit Lights and the parent. Trackit Lights does not receive any information about parents from the school or from Wonde. All parent data is provided by the parents.
