Online test-proctoring: educational spyware that lets third parties secretly watch and listen to you through your computer

I think it’s reasonable to assume that the information is being used according to whatever their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and I think it is reasonable to assume that their software and services are about as secure as other websites. I think it’s reasonable to assume that they take reasonable precautions to reduce their liability by screening their proctors. If you have any bit of evidence that ProctorU is misusing information, that their software and systems are insecure, please share! As it stands now, I don’t particularly like using ProctorU. If it turns out they’re actually or evil or incompetent, I would like to complain to my school to terminate their relationship with ProctorU in favor of some other solution.
