What happened

The Slovenian DPA decided that there is no legal basis for conducting a method of distance learning that uses untested facial recognition technologies or software that allows control over individual behavior. It is also not permissible to require an individual (student) to record the entire room in which the exam is being written. In these cases (it is) an excessive intrusion into the privacy of the individual, as the review and assessment of knowledge could certainly be enabled in a way that is less intrusive into the privacy of the student.
