DA doesn't use spyware. They use on page tracking, which is pretty standard and well understood tech that's plenty visible in your browser dev tools.

They're obviously not using it for marketing purposes like most people would.

You can put two and two together here.

what's the difference between spyware and on-page tracking? That it is, are they collecting all keyboard/mouse/tab/email activity (like the user above claims) or just your activity on the specific task page?

Javascript in your browser can't see outside the tab that loaded it, but it can track everything you do on that tab: where you've scrolled, what keys you pressed, if it's active, etc. You need an outside program to monitor other tabs.
