Student App

Privacy Policy

App Name: MyExamBrowser | Last Updated: September 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the MyExamBrowser application ("App", "we", or "us") handles information when installed and used by students during academic examinations. Please read this policy carefully.

Privacy First: MyExamBrowser is designed to function entirely offline after the exam QR code is scanned. We do not collect, upload, or sell any personal student data. All exam session data is stored only on your device.

Information We Collect

MyExamBrowser does not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) from students. No registration, login, or account creation is required.

The following data is processed locally on your device only:

Exam Session Data: Active session timestamps, countdown timers, and lockout event counts — stored temporarily to support session recovery and exam integrity enforcement.
QR Code Payload: Encrypted exam configuration data (exam URL, start/end time, exit PIN) decoded from the proctor's QR code in real-time. This data is never transmitted to external servers by the app.

Device Permissions

Permission	Purpose	Data Stored?
Camera	Scan the encrypted exam QR code provided by the proctor to begin the exam session.	No — camera frames are processed in real-time and immediately discarded. No images or videos are saved or transmitted.
Internet Access	Load the designated exam webpage (e.g., Google Forms, school LMS) inside the secure exam browser.	No — the app only opens the URL defined by the proctor. No data is collected from the exam platform by the app.

Kiosk / Screen Lock Behavior

To maintain exam integrity, MyExamBrowser activates a kiosk lock mode during the exam session. In this mode:

The student cannot switch to other apps, pull down notifications, or leave the exam browser.
Any detected attempt to exit the app is logged as a violation event (stored locally only).
The screen lock is automatically released when the exam ends (TimeEnd is reached) or when the proctor enters the exit PIN.

Session Recovery Data

To prevent students from losing exam progress due to device restarts or battery failures, the app may store an encrypted recovery token in the device's secure local storage. This token contains only session timing information and is automatically cleared when the exam session ends.

Third-Party Services

Google ML Kit (On-Device): Used locally on-device to decode QR codes. No data is sent to Google servers during the scanning process.
Exam Platform (WebView): The exam webpage loaded inside the app is governed by the privacy policy of your institution or the exam platform provider (e.g., Google Forms, Moodle). MyExamBrowser does not intercept, monitor, or store your responses to exam questions.

Data Retention

Local exam session data is automatically cleared when the exam concludes. Uninstalling the application or clearing app data permanently removes all associated data from your device.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the application after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
