Add-on summary
Secure Exam Proctor is a tool created to increase accessibility to test-takers worldwide. It enables you to take exams remotely while protecting the value of your online degree/certifications. Here are some important things to keep in mind when using Secure Exam Proctor on your assessments:
Your information is completely safe - Any information collected during your assessment is encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption before it leaves your computer, meaning it cannot used until unlocked by an institution-approved representative.
No personal information is sold - Our privacy design means Secure Exam Proctor can’t see personal info, therefore there is nothing for us to sell to third parties.
The following permissions may be required to add the Secure Exam Proctor extension:
Read and Change Data on Websites: This permission does not mean the extension will read or change anything on the websites you visit. When enabled by your administrator, it allows the recording of tabs open during an exam.
Financial and Payment Information: Secure Exam Proctor does not directly collect financial or payment information from test-takers. This permission is required in order for our third-party payment processor to manage any fees for exams.
Capture Screen Content: If your exam requires it, Secure Exam Proctor can record your screen. This option is set solely by your exam administrators and/or institution, not by Secure Exam Proctor. Your browser will ask for permission to share your screen every time it is needed, and you can manually end screen recording at any time.
Manage Downloads: Secure Exam Proctor uses this permission to prevent test-takers from downloading items while in an exam. This only applies when enabled by your exam administrator.
