For Prowise, your privacy, security and safety are key. This stems from a deep belief in the right to privacy, especially when vulnerable groups like children are involved. This belief is clearly reflected in our privacy statement.

Developed by Prowise

Privacy is not a buzzword for Prowise. We take responsibility ourselves and stick to our word: your data, always secure.

European

Prowise is a Dutch company that complies with strict European regulations on product development, privacy and security. Your data is stored on European servers and is under no circumstances shared with (foreign) third parties. In addition, our software updates are also performed via our own servers. 100% secure.

Independent

We develop our products entirely in-house and do not rely on third parties. This allows us to fully protect your privacy.

Privacy in our DNA

Privacy is our top priority. During the development of our software, for example, we make every effort to ensure that there are no bugs left in the code that could expose sensitive information. Moreover, we engage friendly hackers (white hat hackers) who keep us on our toes.

IT-Grundschutz

Prowise Software was awarded the 'IT-Grundschutz' certification by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), a global authority in the field of cybersecurity. Thus, the developments of Prowise Presenter, Screen Control, and all our cloud services meet the highest standards for data protection.

AV-Test Institute

Following a state-of-the-art test procedure, the independent German AV Test Institute confirms the security of the Prowise Touchscreen Ten and software with a 'Approved IoT Product' certification.

ISO 27001

By obtaining this certificate Prowise demonstrates that its information security is in order. This means, for example, that we handle student data and customer data with care.

ISO 9001

With the ISO 9001 certification Prowise shows that we comply with international requirements in the field of quality management. With this we prove that all processes (from quotation to delivery and from product development to customer management) are regulated down to the last detail and comply with rules and legislation.

Privacy Verified

Privacy Verified is an initiative of ICTRecht, a leading consultancy on ICT, internet and privacy laws and regulations. Each company is thoroughly assessed, including an annual review of its privacy statement, internal procedures such as reviewing agreements and auditing ICT systems.

CIPP / E

The CIPP/E certification demonstrates that certain people in our company have extensive knowledge of the GDPR and of data protection in Europe.

Geprüfte Sicherheit

Prowise PC modules are one of the very few in the world to have a ‘Geprüfte Sicherheit’ certification. This is a high-standard German certification for technical equipment. It shows that our PC modules meet the strict German standards for safe use of equipment.

Student Privacy Pledge

The Student Privacy Pledge is a legally binding statement by edtech companies in which they promise to protect the privacy of students.

Geprüfte Sicherheit (TUV Rheinland)

The renowned Geprüfte Sicherheit certification demonstrates that the Prowise Touchscreen Ultra poses no risk to the safety and health of users. This strict German safety seal was awarded by TÜV Rheinland, known for its rigorous testing procedures and recognised as a respected certification organisation throughout the European Union.

Eye Comfort

After undergoing a thorough testing process in 15 categories, the Prowise Touchscreen Ultra was awarded a prestigious Eye Comfort certificate. This innovative quality label indicates that the visual comfort of users and the health of the eyes were clearly a priority in the development of the touchscreen.

Low Blue Light & Flicker Free

The certified inspection organisation TUV SÜD has demonstrated that the Prowise Touchscreen Ten emits minimal blue light and causes little screen flickering. As a result, your eyes are less likely to fatigue quickly, allowing you to use the screen effortlessly for hours.

Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure

During the development of our software, we try our best to ensure no bugs are left in the code that could expose information in a way that is unintended or unsafe. If you happen to come across a bug in our software, we ask you to please share it with us.
