Resumen
ROSA RODRIGUEZ, Paola Iliana de la. Lack of Security of the Personal Information in Educational Digital Applications. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.23, e02. Epub 18-Oct-2021. ISSN 2007-7467. https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v12i23.980.
This article analyzes the use of digital platforms in young university students and their knowledge about the risks of exposing their information in these spaces. In addition, it studies the treatment of information by various applications for didactic use. To achieve this, an exploratory and inferential study was carried out and a semi-structured survey was applied to Criminology students from the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí (UASLP). Likewise, 29 educational platforms were chosen, and it was analyzed whether they protect user data, as well as, if they do, the scope of said protection. The results showed that there are no mechanisms to protect the privacy and security of the information handled by the applications and that the responsibility for the misuse of the information resides with the users. It was also found that the knowledge and practice of methods to preserve cyber security by Internet users of educational platforms is directly related to said security, which is why a greater knowledge of tools is needed to protect personal data in cyberspace.
