Watch only as closely as the exam deserves.
A weekly quiz does not need the same watching as a professional licensing exam. ExamLense lets you choose, exam by exam, how much is watched and how much is kept, so candidates give up no more privacy than the exam justifies.
Chosen exam by exam
The candidate is told which it is before the paper opens.
Like security at different buildings.
A school gate has a watchman. A bank vault has cameras, guards and a logbook. Nobody thinks the school gate needs a vault’s security, and nobody would accept a vault guarded by one watchman.
ExamLense works the same way, with three levels chosen exam by exam. The more that is at stake, the more is watched and kept. The less that is at stake, the less of the candidate’s privacy is used up.
Chosen exam by exam, never one setting for everything.
- Lite
Nothing visual is kept. The checks happen on the spot and the pictures are gone.
- Standard
Only short pieces around the moments that matter: a picture of the screen, a few seconds of sound. Silence is never sent.
- Pro
The whole sitting is recorded, because for a licensing exam the full record is what makes the result defensible.
What protects candidates on every level.
- 01
The candidate is told what is on
A strip at the top of the exam says what is being watched, on every level, for the whole sitting.
- 02
You set how long things are kept
Your institution decides the retention period, and deletion happens on schedule.
- 03
Nothing is sold or reused
Candidate data is never sold, never shared for advertising and never used to train anything.
- 04
Held safely
Encrypted, held in the European Union unless a contract needs another region, and only ever shown through links that expire within minutes.
What it means for you.
-
Your examinations office
Pay for close watching only where the stakes justify it, and meet your data protection duties with less data to protect.
-
Your candidates
A quiz is not a surveillance event, and they always know what is being watched.
-
Your data protection officer
Less collected means less to secure, less to report and less to go wrong.
- No pictures, no sound and no video. What is kept is a written record of when the checks ran and what they found.
- Only the reviewers working on that case and your own authorised staff, through links that stop working within minutes.
- Yes, through the institution that set the exam. Evidence behind a confirmed finding or an open dispute is kept until that is resolved.
- Some do. The identity check compares photos on our side, in the European Union, and they are deleted on the schedule your institution sets. On Lite, the pictures taken during the exam are checked and deleted straight away.
Words you may hear.
- Tier
- The level of watching chosen for an exam: Lite, Standard or Pro.
- Retention period
- How long evidence is kept before it is deleted.
- Data minimisation
- Collecting only what is needed, and keeping it only as long as it is needed.

Bring a real paper and a real roster. We will run a sitting end to end, including a deliberate flag, so you can see exactly what a reviewer would be looking at.
