Effective starting: August 1, 2020
Your use of ProctorPro is subject to the terms of the Tyootr Cloud Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) as well as the following additional terms.
We may collect and/or process your Personal Data only as stated in this Policy, for the purposes described below. We process Personal Data as necessary for our legitimate interests in providing certification and related services, to fulfil our contracts with you, and in certain cases based upon your explicit consent.
a. Certification Services
Tyootr provides examination and certification services (“Certification Services”) as a Personnel Certification Body and Accredited Examination Institute. We may collect your Personal Data (including name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, photo ID, video and audio recordings of examination sessions, and other information) to confirm your identity, deliver examinations, and ensure the validity of the certification process. Certain Personal Data is required to be collected under our procedures to provide you Certification Services and other Personal Data is collected to provide you with a good experience.
Tyootr uses your Personal Data to provide Certification Services. We may also use your Personal Data for internal research and development or quality control purposes, and extracts from examination work in anonymised form may be reproduced in published exam preparation material. In the process of providing Certification Services, we create additional Personal Data, including examination results. Recordings of examination sessions are retained for one (1) year to provide a record of examination integrity.
Some of our Certification Services are offered in cooperation with (i) organisations (including public authorities) that provide examination content or otherwise authorise examinations (“Test Owners”) and/or (ii) organisations who are authorised and approved by Tyootr for delivery of Certification Services (“Partners”). Some authorised Partners may also provide training services related to Tyootr certifications. We may share your Personal Data with those Test Owners, and Partners to the extent necessary to provide you Certification Services. We require Test Owners and Partners to comply with data protection law, but we are not directly responsible for their privacy practices. For information on those practices, please refer to the privacy policies of the Test Owner associated with your examination (our websites contain information about Test Owners) and Partner(s) whose services you use.
Tyootr maintains a registry containing details of all certified persons. As a Personnel Certification Body and Accredited Examination Institute we operate publicly available Certificate Verification Service (“CVS”) accessible via our websites www.tyootr.com, and other partner websites. The CVS allows Users and third parties (e.g. employers) to confirm the authenticity and accuracy of any Tyootr certificate by entering the serial number of the relevant certificate.
b. Certifications Services – Support
Tyootr delivers Certification Services in cooperation with an extensive network of Partners and other supporting organisations and individuals, including trainers; examination invigilators, interlocutors, supervisors, markers and assessors; auditors; and others. We collect Personal Data of individuals providing such supporting services (“Certification Personnel'') in order to ensure examination quality and security, including name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, gender, employment information (e.g. Tyootr role and experience), nationality, native language, photo ID, video and audio recordings of examination sessions, and other information. When recruiting new Certification Personnel, we collect this information in part via the Workable online recruitment platform. Records are retained for five (5) years from the end of our relationship with Certification Personnel (or an unsuccessful application of Certification Personnel).
We use Personal Data of Certification Personnel to provide Certification Services and to manage our relationships with Certification Personnel and the entities that employ them. We may disclose Personal Data of Certification Personnel to Test Owners whose examinations the Certification Personnel are involved in delivering.
c. Online Proctoring
Tyootr optionally offers examinations through the Tyootr Online Proctoring (OLP) services, for Users who wish to take an online exam at their preferred time and location (i.e. almost anywhere they have internet access). Tyootr Online Proctoring connects Users via webcam directly to an authorised Tyootr proctor (invigilator), who guides them throughout the exam and monitors the exam session.
The OLP service includes the following photographic records of examination sessions and examination candidates (“Candidates”):
d. Online Account
All Tyootr examination Candidates (and in certain circumstances other Users) must have an online account (“Tyootr Account”), which is created and accessible via the Tyootr website. Your Account contains some or all of the Personal Data that we hold about you, and makes it easier for you to use our services. You may request deletion of your Account at any time by emailing legal@tyootr.com although this may reduce our ability to provide you services. We may be required to retain certain Personal Data after account deletion to ensure the functioning of Certification Services.
e. Customer Support Services
Tyootr offers 24/7 customer support to Users (both organisations and individual Candidates), through email, telephone and online chat. Telephone calls and online chats may be recorded for monitoring and training purposes, and to improve our services. Telephone recordings are retained for up to fifteen (15) days, and online chat recordings and emails are retained for up to one (1) year.
f. Marketing Communications
If you have opted in to receiving marketing communications from Tyootr, we may occasionally contact you via various means (e.g. email, SMS, telephone) to inform you of new Tyootr products and services, and other Tyootr developments. Partners and Test Owners are not permitted to use your Personal Data for marketing or similar purposes, unless specific consent has been given by you. You have the option of opting out of such communications at any time, by using the “unsubscribe” links in the communications.
g. Surveys
From time to time Tyootr may run surveys, polls and similar initiatives (“Surveys”), to request information from Users to assist us to improve our products, services and operating practices. Participation in Surveys is always voluntary, and Personal Data provided in Survey responses will always remain strictly confidential. The results of Surveys may be aggregated and anonymised, and such anonymised information may be shared with third parties.

Where the User of our services is a child below the age of 16 years, we will request consent for the collection and processing of Personal Data from a holder of parental responsibility over the child.
We never sell your Personal Data or disclose it to third parties for marketing purposes (if Test Owners whose examinations you take market other services to you, it is their responsibility to comply with applicable data protection law – see paragraph 9 below).
We may disclose Personal Data to third parties in the following circumstances:
Where retention of Personal Data is required by law, Tyootr complies with required retention periods. In other circumstances, Tyootr retains Personal Data for as long as necessary for the business purposes set out above. For certain specific circumstances, shorter retention periods are specified in this Policy.
We aim to comply with the data protection law in all countries where we do business, including the laws of the European Union. We may transfer Personal Data across borders in accordance with applicable law. When we transfer or store Personal Data of EU residents outside the European Economic Area, we do so in compliance with the applicable laws on data protection of the EU and its member states.
You have the right to access, correct or delete your Personal Data. However, you acknowledge and accept that upon deletion of specific Personal Data, certificate validation and other services provided by Tyootr may not be available. Under EU law, you have certain rights to restrict the processing of your Personal Data, to withdraw consent to processing that is based upon consent, and of portability of your Personal Data to other service providers. To exercise these rights, please email legal@tyootr.com.
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data from unauthorised use, access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These precautions include physical, electronic and managerial procedures in compliance with the ISO 27001 international information security and Cyber Essentials standards.
Tyootr offers products, exams and services for purchase remotely and electronically. Payments are processed securely by our selected payment processors.

You also have the right to complain to the data protection authorities in your country regarding the processing of your Personal Data, to the extent provided by applicable law (e.g. the EU General Data Protection Regulation or relevant privacy laws of other countries).
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to use of websites and associated online services operated by companies in the Tyootr group (together “Tyootr” or “we”), including www.tyootr.com, exams.tyootr.com, Tyootr Online Proctoring (“Online Services”). Additional terms may apply to specific Tyootr examination and certification services.More specifically, for the re-sit exam option the following terms apply.
Re-sit is an add-on service offered for all exams and becomes available only when the initial exam linked to it has a “fail” result. Re-sit is not transferable, non-refundable, and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit, even if it isn’t eventually used. Candidates must schedule and take the re-sit exam within 6 months from the date of their initial exam. Re-sit is exam-specific; it cannot be used for any other offering and is valid only for the exam originally purchased. Failing to show up for a Take2 exam appointment or not rescheduling the appointment prior to their scheduled appointment forfeits candidates’ ability to use the Re-sit exam appointment or not rescheduling the appointment prior to their scheduled appointment forfeits candidates’ ability to use the Re-sit generated voucher. It can only be purchased up to 15 minutes before sitting an examination. Re-sit is not available for purchase after a failed exam.

If you intend to use our Online Services as a visitor, you must comply with these Terms (if you do not agree please do not use the Online Services).
