Technical privacy assessment of Turnitin

An ongoing team assessment of personal data processing in an AI/ML-based similarity detection service used in education.

Jun 2026 – Present

This ongoing Data Protection Impact Assessment examines how Turnitin collects, processes, and stores personal data when comparing student assignments with other sources. I lead the technical investigation within the team.

The assessment maps data flows and evaluates the service against the legal and technical standards relevant to Dutch education and research institutions, supporting informed decisions about the tools they use.
