How Hubstaff’s software keeps your data safe

secured screenshots

Storing screenshots

The software stores screenshots via SSL over HTTPS, but they never pass through our server. Users can access all of their tracked data whenever they need to. If your employees need to delete screenshots containing personal data, they can do so anytime.

Lets employees be in full control of their data

Employees decide when to start and stop the timer. They are also in full control of their data and have the option to delete time entries and screenshots.

It’s a complete legal employee monitoring solution

Hubstaff is a legal employee monitoring software that only tracks time, activity, and other data while your employees are working. Unlike some other employee monitoring apps, it does not collect any data when the timer is not running.
