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.
