What WriteProof records

WriteProof is a school-managed Chrome extension. It runs only on school Chromebooks and school Google accounts, and only records activity inside Google Docs documents. A small "WriteProof" badge appears in the corner of every document it is recording.

Recorded

• Timing of key presses, grouped by kind (letter, space, punctuation, backspace, delete, arrow keys). The letters you type are not recorded.
• Pastes and drag-and-drops: the length and the pasted text (up to 4,000 characters), and whether it came from an AI chat site's formatting.
• Undo, redo, cut and copy counts, and clicks on Docs' built-in AI features.
• When the document tab is hidden or shown (switching away).
• Visits to AI writing sites (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, QuillBot) — the site name and how long — and only while a Google Doc is open.

Not recorded

• Anything outside Google Docs: no other websites (except the AI-site list above), no email, no screenshots, no camera or microphone.
• Personal Google accounts or personal devices.

Who can see it

Only teachers of the student's Google Classroom courses, and school administrators. Every time someone views a report it is written to an audit log.

How long it's kept

Raw activity data is deleted automatically after 365 days.

How it's used

Reports show how a document was written. They highlight things a teacher may want to ask about — they are never treated as proof by themselves. Students can always explain their process.
