Privacy by tier

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.

In everyday terms

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.

Three levels

Chosen exam by exam, never one setting for everything.

  1. Lite

    Nothing visual is kept. The checks happen on the spot and the pictures are gone.

  2. Standard

    Only short pieces around the moments that matter: a picture of the screen, a few seconds of sound. Silence is never sent.

  3. Pro

    The whole sitting is recorded, because for a licensing exam the full record is what makes the result defensible.

In practice

What protects candidates on every level.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    You set how long things are kept

    Your institution decides the retention period, and deletion happens on schedule.

  3. 03

    Nothing is sold or reused

    Candidate data is never sold, never shared for advertising and never used to train anything.

  4. 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.

Who it helps

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.

Words you may hear.
