Chrome Telemetry

PanDev Metrics uses a Chrome extension to capture activity within corporate web tools.

⚠️ Security & Privacy

Only whitelisted work domains are tracked.

  • No screenshots.
  • No personal browsing.
  • Whitelisted domains only.
  • Users can review the tracked domains.

Whitelist-first Design

Data is collected solely for domains added to the whitelist in the admin console. This keeps personal browsing out of scope and concentrates on corporate tools.

Security measures:

  • Track only approved domains.
  • Provide visibility into the whitelist for every user.
  • Exclude personal content entirely.
  • Focus on corporate systems.
