I would argue the root cause of this is administrative creep. Faculty don't care about student movements accross campus, but for administratos it's an opportunity to improve their job security and expand the role of the beurocracy. Most of these technologies are solutions in search of problems. There is no need for invasive proctoring software if students just take exams in person like they always have. There are presently too many economic incentives to violate people's privacy and almost none to protect it.

Faculty may not care about this at first, but if they suspect a cheater in their midst can become pretty aggressive in pursuit of information to make their case. The adminstration, likely not having also not thought about it hard enough to have any policy or procedure around sharing the information, will then bend over backwards to support the faculty however possible. This capability now established then becomes as you suggest, great fodder for building rapport and demonstrating your commitment to protecting the school's interest.
