Can school see screen time data?

[KabaB1]

I got a macbook from my school, went into MDM profiles and saw the name Jamf  like 4 times.

I hope this is the right forum!

So basically our school isnt that restricted when it comes to macbooks, they let us create our own apple accounts or login on already existing apple accounts, they heavily recommended that we logged in into our daily basis icloud accounts so i dont think they look into data on our macbooks so much because its literally our own account or i hope so. We can literally download almost everything on our macbook, and can play around on the settings how much we want. I ofcourse disabled the Screen time data on settings.

But my question is if they can see our screen time on our macbooks and how much we been using it, ive been using the laptop  very very very much, got so many hours on it. I just wanna see if the school can see that, even if they did, is it easy accesible or do they have to contact JAMF for SCREENTIME DATA?

No, this is not the right forum. This forum is for admins not users, basically we are the people managing your devices. Or as my daughter would call us, we are the enemy.

Yes and no. MDM (what Jamf is) has nothing to do with screentime in any way shape or form. However, the MDM framework does have the ability to monitor application usage, though it is incredibly unreliable. 

Jamf has root access to the system, and Jamf can access anything that can be gathered from CLI. If an admin was so inclined they could write a script to dump the contents of your user directory on to a sharedrive and look at anything they want. Most admins don't care enough to be this nosey unless someone forces them to be. Generally speaking, it's not, the MDM you are worried about snooping, its security clients as those are the real nosey buggers.

Personally, I would not log in to my personal iCloud on any organizationally managed device. Keep personal and work, or this case school, totally separate.
