What your employer can see

This page shows you, in plain language, everything WorkMonitor can capture about your work, what has actually been recorded so far, who has looked at it, and how to grant or withdraw your consent for anything that needs it.

Who this is for

Every member. Everything on this page is your own record, scoped to you alone. Nobody else's activity ever shows up here, and nobody else can see this exact view of your data.

What you'll see

Whether screenshots are part of your record. At the top of the page, WorkMonitor states plainly whether your organization has screenshots turned on for you. If it doesn't, you'll see "No screenshots are taken of you". Your work is recorded as typed, tamper-evident edges, never pixels, and nothing on your screen is photographed or stored. If your organization has screenshots on, you'll see "Screenshots are part of your record". Every capture is redacted on your device before it ever leaves your machine, kept only for the retention window your organization sets, and the actual record kept about you is shown further down the page.

Your consents. Some signals need your explicit permission before WorkMonitor can capture them at all. Only those appear here. Each one is its own card: its name, how sensitive it is (Low, Medium, or High), a plain description of what it means (for example, Activity Level reads *"A general sense of how active your keyboard and mouse are, shown as a level. Never your actual keystrokes."*), whether your organization currently has it turned on, and, once you've decided, when you last signed that decision. A switch lets you grant or withdraw consent for each one. See Give or withdraw consent for a signal. Anything that doesn't need your consent shows "No consent needed" instead of a switch. If your organization isn't asking to capture anything consent-gated right now, you'll see "Nothing needs your consent" instead of a list.

What we've recorded. This is the honest half of the page, not what could be captured, but what actually was: the raw signals kept about you, newest first, showing the app in focus, its window title, and when. WorkMonitor records how much input happened (how many keystrokes and clicks, and how far the mouse moved), never which keys were pressed and never what was typed; those counts are what tells work from idle time. Where your organization has a capability off, the row reads "Withheld by policy" instead of the detail. An off capability is protection, not a gap.

Who viewed my data. Every time a manager opens your screenshots or timeline, or exports your data, it's recorded here, hash-chained, so you can trust the record hasn't been altered. You'll see a badge reading either "Record intact. Nothing has been altered" or, if the chain ever fails its check, "Warning: this record failed its integrity check."

Alerts about me. If your work trips one of your team's alert rules, you see the exact same alert your manager receives, at the same time: what fired, when, and why. Nothing here is shown to them and hidden from you.

Your focus and your editor day. Two more panels show deep-work and context-switching patterns from your own activity, and (if you code in VS Code) your languages and files for today. Both are visible only to you, and both say plainly when the underlying tracking is off rather than guessing at an answer.

Why your score is what it is. If you have a score for the day, this panel explains what produced it: Activity level, Focus, and App quality each show their contribution, and the contributions add up to the number. It's a wellbeing-aware heuristic, not a verdict. Meetings count as work; idle time, a stretch with no keyboard or mouse input at all: is not scored, so it can't reduce your Focus share, isn't averaged into your Activity level, and doesn't put the app that was on screen while you were away into your App quality mix, while a brief pause does stay inside your working time; and a signal your organization has switched off is shown as "off, not counted," never as a zero held against you. Two things are worth knowing about older days. This panel works the arithmetic out again every time, for whichever day you're on, so on a day scored before that idle rule came in it can add up to more than the number recorded against that day, which was deliberately left as recorded rather than rewritten. And once a day is old enough that your organization's retention setting has deleted its minute-by-minute record, Activity level and App quality can only be averaged over the whole tracked day, time away included; Focus is unaffected. When there's a real number to explain, you can select Dispute this score right from this panel.

Controls is open to everyone, too. You can open Controls at any time to see the complete list of everything your organization can capture (including signals that don't need your consent) and whether each one is currently on. Anyone signed in can see it. The switches there are visible to everyone as well, but only an admin can actually change one; if you try and don't have permission, the message you get ("Change not saved", *"Your session may have expired. Try signing in again."*) is misleading. It isn't a session problem. It means you don't have permission to make that change.

What happens next

Reading this page doesn't change anything by itself. It's a live view of your own data. From here you can act on what you see: grant or withdraw consent right on this page, or open Disputes if an automated signal or alert about you looks wrong.

If it doesn't work

Each section on this page loads on its own, so if one fails, the rest keep working. A failed section shows a message like "Couldn't load your record" with a Retry button next to it. If the underlying problem is that you're signed out, the message reads "Your session may have expired. Try signing in again." An empty section isn't a failure. For example, if nothing needs your consent right now, or nobody has viewed your data yet, you'll see a calm message saying so instead of an error.
