EyeSmarty gives great importance to the privacy of its users. EyeSmarty only tracks or monitor all the activities on the computer of its users when the EyeSmarty Desktop App is running but when its users are not working or they are on break then they are not monitored by EyeSmarty. EyeSmarty believes in personal privacy of its users but we also think that employers have the right to check what their employees or workers are working on whether the hours worked by them are worthy enough to be paid or to be considered as productive or non-productive but EyeSmarty has strong faith that employers or companies must not monitor computers of their employees when they are not working or once they stopped their tasks on EyeSmarty desktop app.

As EyeSmarty strongly believes in the personal privacy of its users that is why EyeSmarty does not track or monitor computers of its users once the EyeSmarty desktop app is signed out or the task is stopped or paused by its users. EyeSmarty does not monitor or track the activities of its users when they are not working and have stopped or paused their task on EyeSmarty desktop app that is why EyeSmarty can claim that we are in fact less intrusive than any other similar software which monitors or tracks all computer activities and its usage and does not identify the fact whether the user is working on their tasks using desktop app or not.

Of course, EyeSmarty provides many other benefits other than only monitoring your team or employees. In fact, only about 30% of its features are related to monitoring of your employees or teams working on your projects but the other 70% features are for the benefit of management and their staff such as project management, milestones and tasks management, time tracking, project budget tracking, customer invoicing, communicating with your team via audio/video calls and computer screen sharing during video calls. Moreover, EyeSmarty empowers its users to manage their work time in an effective way, and also provides a deep insight about how the time was spent by your members or workers inside your company or business and these insights help managers improve their internal business processes which ultimately helps them enhance efficiency or productivity of their work force.

For instance the most important feature of EyeSmarty is to help managers not only know which particular tasks your workers, teams or employees are working on, but also helps managers know how much time is spent on which projects/customers by each employee or worker and also helps managers find how much time spent by their workers or employees was productive or non-productive. These important features of EyeSmarty helps managers allocate future time efficiently, reduces communication barrier among their teams, avoid wastage of time on needless meetings, with many other important advantages.

How EyeSmarty is helpful if we have already blocked social media and other unwanted websites for our employees.

Of course, blocking un wanted websites helps increasing in overall performance of your work force but as employees’ behavioral study tells us that there are many different ways which employees use to pass their working time without being productive such as spending time on their cell phones, taking long lunch or prayer breaks etc. EyeSmarty not only help managers prevent this kind of un wanted activities but also helps its users utilize their time in an efficient and more productive way. Moreover, EyeSmarty also provides accurate and deep understanding of team time management which helps managers allocate time across their employees  in a more efficient manner.

There are only 2 scenarios where the EyeSmarty system shows screenshots in the work diaries of users/workers but the tracked time is not added in the system. First scenario is when users/workers close their EyeSmarty app without saving their working time after ignoring the system warning and the other scenario is when the system is shut down accidentally without saving working time.

In this scenario user/worker can still track time on the same task and once the internet is restored then the tracked time will be updated by EyeSmarty App. It is important to note that screen shots of tracked time is updated after each screen shot interval whereas tracked time is updated only when the user/worker decides to stop working on his/her task.

Users/workers can avoid loosing their tracked time by adhering the following precautions :

1. Never ever close your EyeSmarty App without stopping your task.
2. Make sure your system is not accidentally shut down due to any reason.

When the users/workers keep working on their selected task during the period when they are offline due to internet problem only then their work diary for that particular period will not show their screen shots but once the internet is restored and users/workers decide to stop their tasks then their time will be updated correctly.

EyeSmarty App updates tracked time only when user/worker decides to stop working on his/her selected task. Moreover if the user/worker is offline and he/she stopped his/her task on EyeSmarty App then user/worker must not close EyeSmarty App before the restoration of the internet in order to avoid his/her tracked time.
