Summary
Reflection downloading restricted feature to ensure data security is maintained, as any data downloaded from the platform is at a much greater risk of being compromised. Whilst downloading isn’t by default permitted, we appreciate there are occasions when it might be needed. The downloading feature can be enabled, by request, by your IRIS Connect administrator for your organisation.
IRIS Connect's approach to Downloading
IRIS Connect does not recommend the downloading of video content. When a video is downloaded the video is less secure and may end up outside of the owner's control, meaning there is a risk the data subjects in the recordings aren't being appropriately safeguarded and the organisation may not be adhering to relevant data protection laws.
Our system stores videos in a highly secure environment and access is only possible to recordings if permission is granted by the user that owns the video. IRIS Connect enables users with an internet connection access, anywhere, at any time and is far more secure than storing and sharing a local copy of the data.
This is why we continue to improve our platform to make it the safest and most secure environment for teachers to participate in video-based CPD and have built features that mean you hopefully should have no need to download your videos, including:
- Collaboration and Coaching Networks: to enable cross-organisational 1-2-1 sharing
- Groups: to enable sharing to groups of users either internally or externally
- Editing: you can crop your reflections enabling you to share just part if you wish
- Controlled sharing: you are always in control of your reflection, no one can share on your reflection and you can retract a share at any time
- Anonymisation of reflections
- Student Accounts to enable sharing of reflections to pupils
Risks of Downloading
- It's less secure than a password-protected account online.
- Once shared with someone, they can share it, without your permission.
- Once shared you can't retract the share.
- Content could be uploaded to public platforms (e.g. YouTube) that may contravene the Data Protection Act/GDPR.
How to enable Downloading
We do understand that there are times when a recording needs to be downloaded. We have a download feature that is only enabled when requested by an administrator of your organisation. Please see here.
Downloads can be enabled:
- On either a temporary (48 hours) or permanent basis.
- On an account by account basis or for the whole organisation.
- Needing the approval of an admin for each download or without approval.
