# Certory — human-first live proctoring, made in Europe

> Certory provides human live proctoring for online exams. Every exam is supervised in real time by a qualified human proctor — no AI verdicts, no biometrics, no eye-tracking. Our proctors and our data infrastructure are based in Europe, and as a European company Certory works under the GDPR. Test takers join their exam like a video call: one click, no downloads, no lockdown browser. A proctor welcomes them in a personal 1:1 chat, verifies their identity, and stays present as a silent observer — stepping in only when it truly helps.

Key facts:
- Human-first: 100% of proctoring decisions are made by trained human proctors, never by an algorithm.
- AI-free and biometrics-free: no eye-tracking, no biometric recognition, no automated behaviour analysis.
- Made in Europe: proctors based in Europe, exam data at home in Europe, works under the GDPR.
- Test taker experience: 86% learner satisfaction score; a live proctor is available within about 5 minutes.
