Employee Monitoring Data Retention and Compliance

Employee monitoring data should not be collected without a retention plan. Tracker 29 helps teams organize retention around screenshots, video, non-media activity data, attendance records, audit logs, and reporting needs.

Data Types To Review

• Attendance and shift data
• Time tracking sessions
• App and browser usage
• Screenshots and recordings
• Manual time entries
• Audit logs and admin actions
• API usage logs and integration records

Why Retention Policies Matter

Retention policies help teams balance operational visibility with privacy, storage cost, and compliance requirements. A clear policy explains what is collected, how long it is kept, who can access it, and when it is deleted.

Recommended Policy Questions

1. Which teams require screenshots or recordings?

2. Who can review captured media?

3. How long should screenshot evidence be retained?

4. Which reports are needed for payroll or billing?

5. How are employee access and correction requests handled?

Audit and Access Control

Role-based access and audit logs are important for monitoring programs. Admins should review who can see employee data, who can export reports, and who can update attendance records.
