Key Privacy Concerns

Silent Data Collection

Can collect data without any visible indicator to workers. Employees may be comprehensively monitored without knowing monitoring is active.

AI Behavioral Profiling

Machine learning creates behavioral models that persist over time. These profiles predict future behavior and identify "anomalies" based on opaque algorithms.

Permanent Work Records

Years of activity data accumulate into comprehensive behavioral archives that could influence future employment decisions long after collection.

"Insider Threat" Flagging

Risk detection algorithms may flag innocent behavior as suspicious, creating permanent records of false positives that damage worker reputations.

Peer Comparison Data

Individual data is compared against team averages and benchmarks, creating competitive surveillance that pits workers against each other.

Positive Aspects

Personal Data Exclusions

Offers options to exclude certain applications or sites from monitoring, though configuration is controlled by employers, not workers.
