1.3 Screen Content Processing (Core Product Functionality)

Spector’s productivity analytics features may process limited portions of visible screen content to determine whether activity is productive or distracting.

Depending on your product configuration, this may include:

  • Text Extraction
    The software may capture small segments of visible on-screen text (typically limited to approximately 750 characters) for classification by AI models.
  • Screenshot Analysis (Experimental Feature)
    If enabled by the user or organization administrator, the application may capture screenshots of the user’s screen to analyze activity patterns. These screenshots are processed solely for distraction or productivity classification.

Spector implements safeguards designed to reduce the likelihood of processing sensitive information, including:

  • Pattern filtering for personal identifiers (e.g., SSNs, bank numbers)
  • Blocking scanning of common banking websites
  • Blocking scanning of hospital and healthcare domains
  • Blocking scanning of .gov domains

However, because screen content may contain arbitrary user data, we cannot guarantee that all personal or sensitive information will be excluded.
