Meazure may obtain your information through your use of the Services or from your educational institution or certifying entity. When using any of our Services you understand that we will process your information consistent with the ways described in this Privacy Policy. We also may provide you with additional privacy disclosures and ask for your consent for the processing of certain information depending on the Services you are using. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Changes to this Policy below).

Information We Collect
Contacting Us: When you contact us through an online form, email, or through LiveChat, we will ask, if applicable, for information such as your name, email address, telephone number, job title/position, company name or educational institution, country/region of organization headquarters, current proctoring method, product you want to demo or services in which you are interested, information related to your exam situation, publication, certifying entity, and Meazure status (e.g., test taker, professor, or administrator) and information related to the exam type to be proctored. We may also ask you to provide us with information about the reason you are contacting us. We request this information so that we can accurately respond to your inquiries and address any support needs. We also collect any information you provide within your communications with us.
Downloading Whitepapers, Case Studies and eBooks and Signing Up for Our Newsletter: We may collect your email address and name.
Watching or Registering for Webinars: When you watch or register for one of our webinars, we may collect your name, email address, and company name.
Registering Accounts: When you create or reconfigure a Meazure account or interact with our online portals, we may collect your name, username, password, candidate or user ID, date of birth, gender, language, email address, associated educational institution or certifying entity, contact phone number, fax number, department, title, challenge answer, notes, supervisor name and email address, information related to authored items (including discussions, dates, names, and times associated with the creation of and interaction with authored items or other events within the portals), information related to educational qualifications, information related to employers and previous experience, country of residence, time zone, any information you choose to upload, and for registrants in the United States, your residential address. You can also choose, but are not required, to provide us with additional phone numbers, your full residential address (non-U.S. users), and a profile picture using your device’s camera (instructor registration only). We may also collect information related to your active exams and exam history and any accommodations you request. When you pay for an exam within your account, a third-party entity processes your payment. Meazure may receive records of transactions, including purchase amount, name, and the last four digits of your credit card number. Records of your transactions with Meazure are maintained within your account.
Please note that certain institutions and entities may configure their application instances to collect additional information. For example, certain institutions or entities may ask us to process medical documentation, marriage licenses, driver’s licenses, and social security numbers on their behalf to determine testing eligibility and process candidate results. Our internal policies are designed to protect the confidentiality of personal information, restrict access, and prohibit their unlawful disclosure.
Testing: Before taking an exam, you must download our browser extension, using your username and password. Before your exam you must provide us with access to your device’s camera and microphone and share your screen with our proctors through a LogMeIn File. We require you to share your photo ID on camera so that our proctors can verify your identity. Where your institution or organization requires it, we also use third-party biometric facial recognition software to augment our identity verification process. We also require you to perform a biometric keystroke measurement and answer identity verification questions for some exams if your institution or organization requires it. We use your biometric identifiers solely for identify verification and to ensure the security and integrity of the exams we proctor. Our identity verification providers delete biometric data immediately after each analysis. Meazure does not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from individuals’ biometric data, and Meazure does not permit its vendors or licensors to sell, lease, trade or otherwise profit from biometric data; provided, however, that Meazure’s vendors and licensors may be paid for products or services used by Meazure that utilize such biometric data. If you would like a copy of our Biometric Information Policy, please contact us at the address in the Contact Information section below. During your exam, we continue to monitor your screen, camera, and microphone in order to meet the requirements of your institution’s testing parameters, communicate with you, and monitor your exam. Meazure may collect recordings of your test session for identity verification, exam integrity, and training purposes. We may also collect information related to test names, dates, results, proctors, status, and duration and other time-based metadata (including the amount of time spent answering each question), name, country, state/province, and city, proctor assessments, and certification number and status. If you opt in to the public display of your certifications, we will publicly display your certification number and status.
Applying for Jobs: When you apply to work for us through our website, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, cover letter, availability, website, blog, or portfolio, LinkedIn profile URL, references (including name, company, and contact info), city and state, resume, work eligibility status, information about whether you will now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status, information about prior employment with Meazure, information about whether you know anyone who works at Meazure (and, if yes, who), compensation range, information about your proximity to the office where you are applying, information about how you learned about the position, and information related to gender, ethnicity, disability, and veteran status. We request this information in order to satisfy our legal obligations and to evaluate your eligibility and qualifications for the open position.
Integrating with Learning Management Systems: When you access or use our Services, including for the purposes of registering for a Meazure-proctored test, through a learning management system integration, we may receive information about you, including information related to the exam, subject, date, registrants, and, if payment is required, payment information (though payment will be processed by our third-party payment processor).

In the limited situations where Meazure acts as a controller, we process your personal information, with your consent, where necessary to perform a contract, to comply with our legal obligations, and where doing so is in our legitimate interest and does not outweigh your rights and freedoms, such as to protect the integrity of our software, protect the integrity of our testing process, protect our intellectual property or the intellectual property of educational institutions or certifying entities, provide and improve our Services, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and our Terms of Service.

Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies providing them.
Your Institution: We may disclose information, including video and audio recording of your exam session, to your educational institution/certifying entity upon request. We do this so that your educational institution/certifying entity can verify that you were the person taking the exam and that no exam protocols were violated.

Legal: In certain situations, Meazure Inc. may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Security
Once we no longer require information, we securely destroy it. We use commercially reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect our Services against unauthorized or unlawful access or processing and against accidental loss, theft, disclosure, copying, modification, destruction, or damage. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee that transmissions of your information will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat the security measures taken by us or our service providers. You play an important role in keeping your information secure. You should not share your user name, password, or other security information for your account with anyone. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please contact us immediately as detailed in the Contact Information section, below.
Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.

International Privacy Rights
To the extent required by applicable law, we provide you with the ability to access, correct, export, delete, withdraw consent, object to the processing of, or restrict processing of your personal information, to be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of your personal information, and to confirm whether we hold any personal information about you. These functions will either be available within our Services, or you can contact us to submit a request.

We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable regulations.
When the processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw or vary your consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing we have already performed.
We may need to obtain or confirm certain personal information in order to accommodate your request. We will not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
In most processing contexts, Meazure acts as a processor or service provider for a controller educational institution or certifying entity. In those situations, where required by applicable law, Meazure only transfers personal data to third countries or international organizations where the controller educational institution or certifying entity has authorized Meazure to do so and only where we have taken appropriate steps to ensure your privacy rights continue to be protected in accordance with applicable law.
Lodging Complaints: Pursuant to applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EEA, the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand, the Privacy Commissioner in Canada, the Information Commissioner in Australia, or the Information Commissioner in the UK if you believe we have processed your personal information in a manner inconsistent with your rights.

To request a copy of the specific Article 46 agreement(s) governing the transfer of your personal information, please email us at [email protected].
In all cases, we will ensure that any transfers of personal information will only be undertaken in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
