Privacy first

What we track — and what we never track

Hireboard Tracker is designed for transparent work verification. Monitoring only runs during recruiter-configured working hours, with clear consent before tracking begins.

Tracked during active working hours

  • Application names you use (e.g., Visual Studio Code)
  • Website domains and URLs when using a browser
  • Whether you are actively working or idle (keyboard/mouse activity)

What we never track

  • Keystrokes or passwords
  • Screenshots or screen recordings
  • Any activity outside your configured working hours

This notice is provided in compliance with the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and applicable state laws (such as NY Civil Rights Law § 52-c).

For talent

What talent can do

Install the desktop app, authenticate once, and let Hireboard track your active work hours automatically during scheduled times.

1
Download & install
Get the Hireboard Tracker desktop app for Windows, macOS, or Linux and install it on your work machine.

Review privacy consent
Read and accept the privacy notice before tracking starts. You must consent before any monitoring begins.
3
Authenticate with your token
Paste the one-time authentication token provided by your recruiter to bind your device to your contract.
4
Start & stop tracking
Control tracking manually from the dashboard or system tray. Tracking only runs during your configured schedule.

Offline sync & disconnect
Activity is buffered locally when offline and syncs when connection returns. Disconnect or logout at any time.
For recruiters

What recruiters can do

Export activity data to CSV for billing review, compliance, and team reporting.
