Tracking software?! I often have remote contracts and have never been suggested to install any presence or keyboard activity trackers. Sounds horrible. You are a professional, not a teenager. I think that would be such a red flag for me of how everything else is at that client that I would never agree to the contract in the first place. Since most of my clients allow BYOD I sometimes get asked to ensure I have antivirus etc installed. Which is ok as long as they don't dictate which software. So far that has been fine for all clients. I have some clients that insist on a locked-down laptop to access some parts of their network, and they happily send me one that I use it for mostly email only. Having tracking software on it would be pointless as it would only show 5 minutes of email checking activity every 2-3 hours. Unless by tracking you mean webcam and slack status? That seems acceptable to me. And as I mostly encourage(insist) that my teams use webcams when they are remote pairing etc it would be hypocritical of me to say otherwise.
