Proctoring captures webcam, screen and behavioural data, often of minors, about as intrusive as it gets.
In short
Proctoring needs a strong lawful basis, strict minimization and short retention; where candidates are children, verifiable parental consent applies and monitoring must not extend beyond the exam. Penalties reach ₹250 crore, and ₹200 crore for children-data violations.
What changes for this sub-sector.
Webcam, screen and behavioural monitoring is intrusive; you need a clear lawful basis and tight limits.
Capture only what integrity requires, and delete recordings on a short, defined schedule.
Where candidates are under 18, verifiable parental consent applies and monitoring must not extend beyond the exam.
Tell candidates exactly what is recorded, analysed and stored.
Proctoring recordings are a high-value breach target; encrypt and lock down access.
Third-party proctoring and AI flagging vendors are processors; govern their handling.
Fix lawful basis, minimization and retention first.
