Articles on: For room visitors

Is my activity tracked?

Short answer: yes, and that's by design. Here's exactly what's tracked and why.


What's tracked


Every significant interaction you have with a Katalyz room is logged:


  • Page views — when you open the room and which pages you navigate to
  • Time spent — approximate minutes on each page
  • Scroll depth — how far down you scrolled
  • Clicks — on CTAs, download buttons, links
  • Downloads — which files you saved
  • Comments — what you posted and when
  • Task completions — which tasks you marked done
  • Meeting bookings — when you scheduled time
  • Signature events — when you viewed, signed, or declined a document


Who sees this


The sender (the company that shared the room with you) sees all of this in their internal Activity dashboard.


Katalyz stores this data to provide the service. It's not shared externally, never sold, never used to train AI models on your behalf.


Why senders track this


It's the main reason Katalyz exists as a product category. For senders, this information helps them:


  • Understand what you care about — if you spent 8 minutes on pricing, pricing is top-of-mind
  • Time their outreach well — if you just opened the room at 9am, that's a good time to call
  • Identify stakeholders — who else from your team you've invited or mentioned
  • Close deals faster — by reducing guesswork and "where do we stand" emails


Is this normal?


Yes. This is standard for B2B sales tools. Comparable tools that track buyer activity:


  • DocSend — tracks document opens, page-by-page views
  • PandaDoc — similar tracking for proposals
  • Showpad — similar tracking for sales collateral
  • Dock, Pipedrive, HubSpot sales hub — all include activity tracking


If you've interacted with any of these, you've been tracked in similar ways.


Can I opt out?


Not directly. Room activity tracking is how deal rooms work — opting out would mean not using the room.


That said, you have a few options:


Ask for an alternative format

If Katalyz's tracking is genuinely a dealbreaker for you, ask the sender to share content another way — static PDFs, shared drives, or in-person walkthroughs.


Delete your data post-deal

After the deal concludes (either direction), you can ask the sender to delete your activity records. They're required by GDPR to honor such requests (with some legal retention exceptions for signed contracts).


What about anonymous browsing?


If you want to quickly preview a room without being identified:


  • Open in an incognito / private browsing window — avoids carrying your session cookies
  • Don't enter your email if asked to verify — but many rooms require verification
  • Note: the sender may still see "someone anonymously opened the link" as a tracked event, but without your identity


What's never tracked


  • What you type but don't submit (draft comments, incomplete forms)
  • Other tabs you have open
  • What you do after leaving the room
  • Private information from your computer or browser beyond standard session data
