In higher education, confidential academic material has a fragile shelf life. A midterm exam leaked before the date invalidates weeks of preparation. A paper in the publication process shared prematurely can lose its novelty. Premium course material ends up pirated online.
Educational technology has advanced in many areas, but the distribution of confidential documents remains tied to the same old problems: PDFs that are downloaded, copied, and circulated uncontrollably.
Real challenges of academic distribution
- Exams leaking before the date via screenshots or forwarding
- Premium course material photocopied and pirated among students from previous years
- Pre-publication papers shared outside the evaluation committee
- Theses and research papers that need confidentiality during review
- No way to verify that only enrolled students accessed the material
Academic material with intelligent controls
PrivyDocs allows universities and professors to distribute documents with granular controls that respect the temporary and confidential nature of academic material.
Automatic expiration
The exam expires when the time is up. Class material expires at the end of the semester. No manual actions.
View limit
Set maximum views per document. The exam can be viewed only once. Study material up to 5 times.
Domain whitelist
Restrict access to @university.edu emails. Only students with institutional accounts can access the material.
Watermark per student
Each view shows the student's name or email. Effective deterrence against screenshots and leaks.
