Smartick: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Smartick is an online learning programme that teaches mathematics and coding to children from about four to fourteen years old. Each day the child completes a short session of about fifteen minutes, and the platform adapts the study plan using artificial intelligence. Families use it through the website and through apps on Google Play and the App Store. The vendor states that the method was developed by a team of parents, mathematicians and educators.

The service is provided by Sistemas Virtuales de Aprendizaje, S.L., which is registered in the Mercantile Registry of Málaga, Spain, so the company is established in the EU. The shareholders and owners are not named on the pages reviewed, and no foreign parent has been verified. The pages reviewed do not state where data is hosted or which processors are used. A European organisation should confirm hosting location and processors in writing, particularly where personal data of children is involved. The product is proprietary software, and nothing on the vendor's pages indicates an open-source or self-hosted version.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Smartick

Smartick is headquartered in ES and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Smartick scores best on data residency.

Smartick is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Smartick together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
