This paper reports the outcomes of an overseas research project conducted at the Jagiellonian University in Poland from April 2024 to March 2025. The research focused on an international comparative study of the ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding the societal implementation of educational and learning data utilization. Special attention was given to the institutional and cultural contexts in Poland. These were compared with those in Japan. In Poland, efforts are being made to ensure data processing and privacy protection in accordance with the GDPR. While Japan should learn from the initiatives undertaken in the EU, including Poland, it is also important to promote the utilization of educational and learning data in ways that are culturally appropriate for the Japanese context.
