CryptPad for Education
Benefits for Education
Safe online space
In their damning report of education technology Human Rights Watch found that 89% of the 150 products they examined “monitored or could monitor children, in most cases secretly and without the consent of children or their parents”. With CryptPad students can learn without being surveilled and tracked.

CryptPad has everything you need to give classes, from text documents to whiteboards, forms, and spreadsheets, all in one secure place.
Data protection built in
CryptPad is built to collect as little data as possible, and to protect what it stores with encryption and security measures. There is no premium or add-on to protect data, it’s the default. CryptPad helps you pass GDPR compliance with top honors!
Support on call
