Time Doctor collects webcam photos, complete browsing history, and detailed productivity metrics. Data is used to generate "poor time use" reports and distraction alerts. The combination of visual capture and behavioral monitoring creates comprehensive surveillance archives.
| Data Type | Collected | Shared | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Webcam Photos | Periodic captures | Employer access | Employer controlled |
| Screenshots | Random intervals | Employer access | Indefinite |
| Browsing History | All sites visited | Employer + reports | Full history kept |
| Productivity Scores | Algorithmic ratings | Manager dashboards | Indefinite |
| Distraction Events | Every "violation" | Real-time alerts | Indefinite |
Photos taken via webcam create visual records of workers. These images may capture background environments, other people, and personal spaces in home offices.
Every website visited during tracked time is logged and categorized. Personal sites accessed briefly are permanently recorded and may appear in "unproductive" reports.
AI-generated productivity scores create permanent records of algorithmic assessments that may not reflect actual work quality or output.
Managers receive immediate notifications of "distractions," creating a record of every flagged behavior moment across a worker's tenure.
Workers can use their own data for personal productivity insights, though this doesn't offset employer surveillance capabilities.
