Assuming this works it will for sure be used for employee tracking.

Privacy protector solves different problems - they prevent people from extracting information on screen, not merely inform about possible infraction.

That being said it's useful in a way that if I'd see anything like that in a contract it wouldn't be a red flag. It'd be red flashing GT*O alarm ;)

This models supports the EyesOff application which will prevent information extraction by either having a popup, switching to another app, or a notification(you can define the behaviour in a few different ways).

Privacy screens are still useful and I recommend people to use EyesOff and the screen protector. A privacy screen won't stop someone shoulder surfing from directly behind you etc.

There is also better ways to do this sort of task when all you care about is tracking the main user: https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.06237, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11019238/
