GAMSAT 2024 is online

•

ACER: massive savings on venue hire!

•

Price of GAMSAT: same as before!

•

ProctorU records your face (faceprint), voice (voiceprints), iris or retina, IP addresses and device identifiers, and more. They sell all this to third parties (see user agreement below).

•

This is the same ProctorU sued for violating the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), after a data breach leaking the identifying information of over 440000 people.

•

How would you like to have your GAMSAT interrupted by the software when it decides you are cheating? For no reason other than not being a neuro-typical white cis man. Sorry, lads with ADHD, this excludes you too (sources below).

•

You ought to be VERY against remote proctoring if you are: a woman, not white, have any disabilities or impairments (or are just a tad fidgety), gender diverse, or any combination of the above.

•

This is the same ProctorU that sell private information, including biometric data to third parties. Excerpt: “From information readily available on their website (https://www.proctoru.com/ca-privacy-policy and https://www.proctoru.com/privacy-policy) one can see the categories of information that ProctorU regularly collects and discloses to third parties which include: social security numbers; driver’s license and passport numbers; other personal identifiers and biometric information including genetic, physiological, behavioral, gender identity, and biological characteristics; activity patterns and identifying information unique to each user including fingerprints, faceprints, voiceprints, iris or retina scans; IP addresses or device identifiers; browsing history, search history, and information about students’ interactions with websites, applications, or advertisements; medical information including medical conditions, physical disability, and/or mental disability; photographs, video, and audio recordings; education and employment information including that related to citizenship. Moreover, in the event that ProctorU is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, our students’ information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction.”
