Frequently Asked Questions About CurrentWare’s Office Attendance Tracking Software
Does CurrentWare Have Access To the Data We Collect?
No, CurrentWare cannot access the data you collect with its workforce optimization software. CurrentWare’s software does not send your user’s computer usage data to CurrentWare. They are installed and managed by your organization.

With CurrentWare’s on-premises & self-managed cloud deployment options, you’re in complete control of your data.
- Sensitive employee data stays secured to your standards rather than being sent to a third party.

For more information, please refer to our software privacy policy.
How Does CurrentWare Determine Employee Working Locations?
CurrentWare uses public IP addresses or default gateway MAC addresses to automatically determine whether a given user is working remotely or in-office. The location insights feature does not use GPS to determine employee location.
When multiple users have the same IP address or MAC address, CurrentWare automatically classifies them as In-Office. IP addresses or MAC addresses only used by one unique user are automatically classified as Remote. These classifications can be manually adjusted.
To ensure the accuracy of CurrentWare’s employee working location detection features, you can add the internal IP addresses of VPN connections to a VPN list.
Each day, users are assigned a location based on where they predominantly spend their time.
- Office: Users working from the office for over 80% of the day.
- Remote: Users working from a remote location for over 80% of the day.
- Hybrid: Users switch between office and remote in a day, each less than 80% of the time.

How Precise Is CurrentWare’s Location Tracking?
CurrentWare does not track your employees’ exact locations. Instead, it uses either public IP addresses or default gateway MAC addresses to determine whether they are connected from a location that is labeled “office” or one that is labeled “remote”.
This approach provides the insights you need to evaluate adherence to RTO mandates and compare in-office vs remote productivity without excessive personal data collection, such as tracking the exact coordinates of your employees with a GPS.
What Metrics Can CurrentWare Capture?
CurrentWare is capable of tracking a diverse range of employee computer activities, including:
- Employee working locations (remote vs office vs hybrid)
- Time spent on productive vs unproductive websites and applications
- File transfers and removable media usage
- Software and SaaS utilization rates
- Idle time and availability status
- Desktop screenshots
- Logon/logoff times
These metrics provide valuable insights into employee productivity, policy compliance, insider risks, and workforce activity trends.
