It has been revealed through various articles that Proctortrack has the risk to reveal and obtain very personal information just to complete a simple exam final. Examples of personal information they could obtain include zip codes, phone numbers, emails, photos, screen captures, video recordings and history of personal employment which can potentially expose our social security number, essentially our identity itself. It has been known that third parties have been involved with the company’s software allowing to use the data Proctortrack has collected proving that these companies do not adhere by the same privacy policies that we do. The question poses what does this software do with our information? Why do they keep it for so long? Why must they cross such a significant line when it comes to our privacy? The questions that I asked were just a sample of a whole list that students had conjured up. It has stated in various articles that in addition to the software obtaining name and identification it also may obtain a series of personal information that can be kept from 6 months - 2 years.

As I speak for all students we are aware of the importance it is to maintain academic integrity however at what cost? We are open to getting proctored through skype or zoom that does not give such personal information to this company. These couple of months have been proven stressful for all of us, with the knowledge of our privacy policies being potentially breached it could prove detrimental to someones mental health.

Please sign this petition to maintain our power as students.
