How Exam Mode handles information used in classroom assessments.
Information used by Exam Mode
Exam Mode stores account details, class enrollments, exam questions and responses, grades, feedback, and limited exam browser events. Students joining an exam without an account provide a display name and use a browser session to access their work.
Authentication and session cookies help keep users signed in and support joining with a code. Google sign-in is optional where available; Google handles its own sign-in process.
How information is used and shared
Information supports sign-in, class membership, running exams, saving answers, grading, feedback, and review of exam activity. Teachers can access records for their own classes. Students can access their own responses and results their teacher has released. Service providers used to host and operate Exam Mode process information needed to provide the service.
Exam monitoring
During an exam, page visibility, window focus, and fullscreen exit events may be recorded for teacher review. These events do not establish misconduct or automatically change grades. Exam Mode does not record camera or microphone feeds, clipboard contents, or other applications.
Access, correction, and deletion
Contact your teacher or classroom operator to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information associated with your class or assessment. Your school or classroom operator may have additional rules for handling student information.
The classroom operator must establish and communicate the applicable retention schedule, hosting region, and privacy contact before enrolling real students.
Security and session access
Access to class and assessment data is restricted by account and role. Keep your credentials private. If you joined as a guest, keep the same browser session: clearing browser data or leaving the session may prevent you from returning to your work.
