Why the AI & Privacy Academy?

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education is reshaping how schools operate across the UK, Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and beyond—bringing both new opportunities and significant data protection challenges. Schools worldwide face rising complexities, from navigating the requirements of UK GDPR, European regulations, and evolving privacy laws in North America and Asia, to managing risks linked to EdTech vendors and the intricacies of international data transfers. In this context, a reactive approach to data protection is no longer sufficient. The AI & Privacy Academy is a comprehensive training programme that directly addresses these global challenges, equipping school leaders and privacy professionals with strategic knowledge and practical tools to proactively manage compliance, safeguard school communities, and ensure robust data governance in a rapidly changing landscape.

“The team at 9ine have been instrumental in supporting us in our journey toward stronger data privacy controls and a better cybersecurity posture. Their materials are thorough, precise, and easy to use, all at the same time. We've benefited greatly, both as an IT team and also as a wider organisation, having access to the 9ine team and their expertise. What really makes a difference is that 9ine understands the nuance of international schools in a way that other out-of-the-box cybersecurity and data privacy consultancies do not. Highly recommended.”

Greg Clinton

American International School Chennai, Director of Technology

“We began to work with 9ine for our Digital Privacy Management. We quickly expanded to their Cybersecurity services due to their professionalism, especially when such a wide range of aspects can benefit from each other. The different teams are always aware of what’s happening, and we benefit significantly, whether at a board level or on a very granular “under the hood” scale.”

Yoann Saludes

Marymount International School Paris, IT Director

“They felt like an extension of our IT support team for the time they were with us and were never judgemental on the approach we take with our systems and security. I’d have no concerns about recommending them (and using their services) again in the future.”

Mike Ward

The Dean Trust, Head of IT
