A consent-gated workplace sensor captures only the tiers a user and workspace allow. MARFI separates activity, screenshots, actions, and system metrics so organizations can define clear boundaries for telemetry and training data.

## Audience

People teams, employees, IT admins, and security reviewers.

## Search Intent

Explain consent-gated workplace telemetry sensors.

## Not every signal is one permission.

Separating capture tiers makes the rollout clearer. A user can consent to activity telemetry without automatically consenting to screenshots.

## The workspace plan also limits what can be captured.

Insight is telemetry-only. Trajectory adds richer capture options for AI training data, but plan access never replaces user consent.

## Clear tiers make review easier.

Security, privacy, and employee review are easier when each data type has a plain-language purpose and boundary.

## FAQ

### What are MARFI capture tiers?

Activity, screenshots, actions, and system metrics are separate tiers.

### Can screenshots be disabled?
